Psalm 83 | Liturgical Calendar

1

Hold not thy tongue, O God, keep not still silence *

refrain not thyself, O God.

2

For lo, thine enemies make a murmuring *

and they that hate thee have lift up their head.

3

They have imagined craftily against thy people *

and taken counsel against thy secret ones.

4

They have said, Come, and let us root them out, that they be no more a people *

and that the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance.

5

For they have cast their heads together with one consent *

and are confederate against thee;

6

The tabernacles of the Edomites, and the Ismaelites *

the Moabites and Hagarenes;

7

Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek *

the Philistines, with them that dwell at Tyre.

8

Assur also is joined with them *

and have holpen the children of Lot.

9

But do thou to them as unto the Madianites *

unto Sisera, and unto Jabin at the brook of Kison;

10

Who perished at Endor *

and became as the dung of the earth.

11

Make them and their princes like Oreb and Zeb *

yea, make all their princes like as Zeba and Salmana;

12

Who say, Let us take to ourselves *

the houses of God in possession.

13

O my God, make them like unto a wheel *

and as the stubble before the wind;

14

Like as the fire that burneth up the wood *

and as the flame that consumeth the mountains.

15

Persecute them even so with thy tempest *

and make them afraid with thy storm.

16

Make their faces ashamed, O Lord *

that they may seek thy Name.

17

Let them be confounded and vexed ever more and more *

let them be put to shame, and perish.

18

And they shall know that thou, whose Name is Jehovah *

art only the most Highest over all the earth.
