83:1 God, don`t keep silent. Don`t keep silent, and don`t be still, God.

83:2 For, behold, your enemies are stirred up. Those who hate you have lifted up their heads.

83:3 They conspire with cunning against your people. They plot against your cherished ones.

83:4 Come, they say, "and let us destroy them as a nation, That the name of Israel may be remembered no more."

83:5 For they have conspired together with one mind. They form an alliance against you.

83:6 The tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites; Moab, and the Hagrites;

83:7 Gebal, Ammon, and Amalek; Philistia with the inhabitants of Tyre;

83:8 Assyria also is joined with them. They have helped the children of Lot. Selah.

83:9 Do to them as you did to Midian, As to Sisera, as to Jabin, at the river Kishon;

83:10 Who perished at Endor, Who became as dung for the earth.

83:11 Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb; Yes, all their princes like Zebah and Zalmunna;

83:12 Who said, "Let us take possession Of God`s pasturelands."

83:13 My God, make them like tumbleweed; Like chaff before the wind.

83:14 As the fire that burns the forest, As the flame that sets the mountains on fire,

83:15 So pursue them with your tempest, Terrify them with your storm.

83:16 Fill their faces with confusion, That they may seek your name, Yahweh.

83:17 Let them be put to shame and dismayed forever. Yes, let them be confounded and perish;
