| Prayer for the defeat of Israel's Enemies. Psalm 83(v82) | |||
| 1 | O God, do not keep silence; do not hold your peace or be still, O God! | ||
| 2 | For lo, your enemies are in tumult; those who hate you have raised their heads. | ||
| 3 | They lay crafty plans against your people; they consult together against your protected ones. | ||
| 4 | They say, "Come, let us wipe them out as a nation; let the name of Israel be remembered no more!" | ||
| 5 | Yea, they conspire with one accord; against you they make a covenant - | ||
| 6 | the tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites, Moab and the Hagrites, | ||
| 7 | Gebal and Ammon and Amalek, Philistia with the inhabitants of Tyre; | ||
| 8 | Assyria also has joined them; they are the strong arm of the children of Lot. | ||
| 9 | Do to them as You did to Midian, as to Sisera and Jabin at the river Kishon, | ||
| 10 | who were destroyed at En-dor, who became dung for the ground. | ||
| 11 | Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb, all their princes like Zebah and Zalmunna, | ||
| 12 | who said, "Let us take possession for ourselves of the pastures of God." | ||
| 13 | O my God, make them like whirling dust, like chaff before the wind. | ||
| 14 | As fire consumes the forest, as the flame sets the mountains ablaze, | ||
| 15 | so do you pursue them with your tempest and terrify them with your hurricane! | ||
| 16 | Fill their faces with shame, that they may seek your name, O Yahweh. | ||
| 17 | Let them be put to shame and dismayed for ever; let them perish in disgrace. | ||
| 18 | Let them know that you alone, whose name is Yahweh, art the most high over all the earth. | ||
