| # Chapter 83
#### 1 | A Song. A Psalm. Of Asaph. O God, do not keep quiet: let your lips be open and take no rest, O God.
#### 2 | For see! those who make war on you are out of control; your haters are lifting up their heads.
#### 3 | They have made wise designs against your people, talking together against those whom you keep in a secret place.
#### 4 | They have said, Come, let us put an end to them as a nation; so that the name of Israel may go out of man's memory.
#### 5 | For they have all come to an agreement; they are all joined together against you:
#### 6 | The tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites; Moab and the Hagarites;
#### 7 | Gebal and Ammon and Amalek; the Philistines and the people of Tyre;
#### 8 | Assur is joined with them; they have become the support of the children of Lot. (Selah.)
#### 9 | Do to them what you did to the Midianites; what you did to Sisera and Jabin, at the stream of Kishon:
#### 10 | Who came to destruction at En-dor; their bodies became dust and waste.
#### 11 | Make their chiefs like Oreb and Zeeb; and all their rulers like Zebah and Zalmunna:
#### 12 | Who have said, Let us take for our heritage the resting-place of God.
#### 13 | O my God, make them like the rolling dust; like dry stems before the wind.
#### 14 | As fire burning a wood, and as a flame causing fire on the mountains,
#### 15 | So go after them with your strong wind, and let them be full of fear because of your storm.
#### 16 | Let their faces be full of shame; so that they may give honour to your name, O Lord.
#### 17 | Let them be overcome and troubled for ever; let them be put to shame and come to destruction;
#### 18 | So that men may see that you only, whose name is Yahweh, are Most High over all the earth.
