Psalms

Psalm 83:4–11

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,
