Psalm 83 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

God Implored to Confound His Enemies.

A Song, a Psalm of Asaph.

83 God, ^(A)do not remain quiet;
^(B)Do not be silent and, God, do not be still.
²For behold, Your enemies ^(C)make an uproar,
And ^(D)those who hate You have ^[a]^(E)exalted themselves.
³They ^(F)make shrewd plans against Your people,
And ^[b]conspire together against ^(G)Your ^[c]treasured ones.
⁴They have said, “Come, and ^(H)let’s wipe them out ^[d]as a nation,
So that the ^(I)name of Israel will no longer be remembered.”
⁵For they have ^[e]^(J)conspired together with one mind;
They make a covenant against You:
⁶The tents of ^(K)Edom and the ^(L)Ishmaelites,
^(M)Moab and the ^(N)Hagrites;
⁷^(O)Gebal, ^(P)Ammon, and ^(Q)Amalek,
^(R)Philistia with the inhabitants of ^(S)Tyre;
⁸^(T)Assyria also has joined them;
They have become ^[f]a help to the ^(U)children of Lot. Selah

⁹Deal with them ^(V)as with Midian,
As ^(W)with Sisera and Jabin at the river of Kishon,
¹⁰Who were destroyed at En-dor,
Who ^(X)became like dung for the ground.
¹¹Make their nobles like ^(Y)Oreb and Zeeb,
And all their leaders like ^(Z)Zebah and Zalmunna,
¹²Who said, “^(AA)Let’s possess for ourselves
The ^(AB)pastures of God.”

¹³My God, make them like the ^[g]^(AC)whirling dust,
Like ^(AD)chaff before the wind.
¹⁴Like ^(AE)fire that burns the forest,
And like a flame that ^(AF)sets the mountains on fire,
¹⁵So pursue them ^(AG)with Your heavy gale,
And terrify them with Your storm.
¹⁶^(AH)Fill their faces with dishonor,
So that they will seek Your name, Lord.
¹⁷May they be ^(AI)ashamed and dismayed forever,
And may they be humiliated and perish,
¹⁸So that they will ^(AJ)know that ^(AK)You alone, whose name is the Lord,
Are the ^(AL)Most High over all the earth.
