Psalms - Chapter 83 - New International Version
- O God, do not remain silent; do not turn a deaf ear, do not stand aloof, O God.
- See how your enemies growl, how your foes rear their heads.
- With cunning they conspire against your people; they plot against those you cherish.
- "Come," they say, "let us destroy them as a nation, so that Israel's name is remembered no more."
- With one mind they plot together; they form an alliance against you —
- the tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites, of Moab and the Hagrites,
- Byblos, Ammon and Amalek, Philistia, with the people of Tyre.
- Even Assyria has joined them to reinforce Lot's descendants. [^

- Do to them as you did to Midian, as you did to Sisera and Jabin at the river Kishon,
- who perished at Endor and became like dung on the ground.
- Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb, all their princes like Zebah and Zalmunna,
- who said, "Let us take possession of the pasturelands of God."
- Make them like tumbleweed, my God, like chaff before the wind.
- As fire consumes the forest or a flame sets the mountains ablaze,
- so pursue them with your tempest and terrify them with your storm.
- Cover their faces with shame, LORD, so that they will seek your name.
- May they ever be ashamed and dismayed; may they perish in disgrace.
- Let them know that you, whose name is the LORD — that you alone are the Most High over all the earth.
