Psalm 83:1–12

¹A song. A Psalm of Asaph.

O God, be not silent; be not speechless;^a

be not still, O God.

²See how Your enemies rage,

how Your foes have reared their heads.

³With cunning they scheme against Your people

and conspire against those You cherish,

⁴saying, “Come, let us erase them as a nation;

may the name of Israel be remembered no more.”

⁵For with one mind they plot together;

they form an alliance against You—

⁶the tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites,

of Moab and the Hagrites,

⁷of Gebal, Ammon, and Amalek,

of Philistia with the people of Tyre.

⁸Even Assyria has joined them,

lending strength to the sons of Lot.

Selah

⁹Do to them as You did to Midian,

as to Sisera and Jabin at the River Kishon,

¹⁰who perished at Endor

and became like dung on the ground.

¹¹Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb,

and all their princes like Zebah and Zalmunna,

¹²who said, “Let us possess for ourselves

the pastures of God.”
