Chapter 82Chapter 84

1A Song, a Psalm of Asaph. O God, do not remain quiet; Do not be silent and, O God, do not be still.

2For behold, Your enemies make an uproar, And those who hate You have exalted themselves.

3They make shrewd plans against Your people, And conspire together against Your treasured ones.

4They have said, 'Come, and let us wipe them out as a nation, That the name of Israel be remembered no more.'

5For they have conspired together with one mind; Against You they make a covenant:

6The tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites, Moab and the Hagrites;

7Gebal and Ammon and Amalek, Philistia with the inhabitants of Tyre;

8Assyria also has joined with them; They have become a help to the children of Lot. Selah.

9Deal with them as with Midian, As with Sisera [and] Jabin at the torrent of Kishon,

10Who were destroyed at En-dor, Who became as dung for 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.'

13O my God, make them like the whirling dust, Like chaff before the wind.

14Like fire that burns the forest And like a flame that sets the mountains on fire,

15So pursue them with Your tempest And terrify them with Your storm.

16Fill their faces with dishonor, That they may seek Your name, O LORD.

17Let them be ashamed and dismayed forever, And let them be humiliated and perish,

18That they may know that You alone, whose name is the LORD, Are the Most High over all the earth.
