“1 <<A Song [or] Psalm of Asaph.>> Keep not thou silence, O God: hold
not thy peace, and be not still, O God. 2 For, lo, thine enemies make a
tumult: and they that hate thee have lifted up the head. 3 They have
taken crafty counsel against thy people, and consulted against thy
hidden ones. 4 They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from
[being] a nation; that the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance.
5 For they have consulted together with one consent: they are
confederate against thee: 6 The tabernacles of Edom, and the Ishmaelites;
of Moab, and the Hagarenes; 7 Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek; the
Philistines with the inhabitants of Tyre; 8 Assur also is joined with
them: they have holpen the children of Lot. Selah.”
“9 Do unto them as [unto] the Midianites; as [to] Sisera, as [to]
Jabin, at the brook of Kison: 10 [Which] perished at Endor: they became
[as] dung for the earth. 11 Make their nobles like Oreb, and like Zeeb:
yea, all their princes as Zebah, and as Zalmunna: 12 Who said, Let us
take to ourselves the houses of God in possession. 13 O my God, make
them like a wheel; as the stubble before the wind. 14 As the fire
burneth a wood, and as the flame setteth the mountains on fire; 15 So
persecute them with thy tempest, and make them afraid with thy storm. 16
Fill their faces with shame; that they may seek thy name, O LORD. 17 Let
them be confounded and troubled for ever; yea, let them be put to shame,
and perish: 18 That [men] may know that thou, whose name alone [is]
JEHOVAH, [art] the most high over all the earth.” (Psalm 83:1-18 AV)
