NASB Bible

Psalms 83

A Song, a Psalm of Asaph.

1

O God,  ado not remain quiet;  bDo not be silent and, O God, do not be still.

2

For behold, Your enemies  amake an uproar, And  bthose who hate You have  1 cexalted themselves.

3

They  amake shrewd plans against Your people, And  1conspire together against  bYour  2treasured ones.

4

They have said, "Come, and  alet us wipe them out  1as a nation, That the  bname of Israel be remembered no more."

5

For they have  1 aconspired together with one mind; Against You they make a covenant:

6

The tents of  aEdom and the  bIshmaelites,  cMoab and the  dHagrites;

7

 aGebal and  bAmmon and  cAmalek,  dPhilistia with the inhabitants of  eTyre;

8

 aAssyria also has joined with them; They have become  1a help to the  bchildren of Lot.  2Selah.

9

Deal with them  aas with Midian, As  bwith Sisera and Jabin at the torrent of Kishon,

10

Who were destroyed at En-dor, Who  abecame as dung for the ground.

11

Make their nobles like  aOreb and Zeeb And all their princes like  bZebah and Zalmunna,

12

Who said, " aLet us possess for ourselves The  bpastures of God."

13

O my God, make them like the  1 awhirling dust, Like  bchaff before the wind.

14

Like  afire that burns the forest And like a flame that  bsets the mountains on fire,

15

So pursue them  awith Your tempest And terrify them with Your storm.

16

 aFill their faces with dishonor, That they may seek Your name, O LORD.

17

Let them be  aashamed and dismayed forever, And let them be humiliated and perish,

18

That they may  aknow that  bYou alone, whose name is the LORD, Are the  cMost High over all the earth.
