largeprint bible: psalms chapter 83
 
1      Keep not thou silence, O God: hold not thy peace, and be not still, O God.

2      For, lo, thine enemies make a tumult: and they that hate thee have lifted up the head.

3      They have taken crafty counsel against thy people, and consulted against thy hidden ones.

4      They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation; that the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance.

5      For they have consulted together with one consent: they are confederate against thee:

6      The tabernacles of Edom, and the Ishmaelites; of Moab, and the Hagarenes;

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

8      Assur also is joined with them: they have holpen the children of Lot. Selah.

9      Do unto them as unto the Midianites; as to Sisera, as to Jabin, at the brook of Kison:

10      Which perished at Endor: they became as dung for the earth.

11      Make their nobles like Oreb, and like Zeeb: yea, all their princes as Zebah, and as Zalmunna:

12      Who said, Let us take to ourselves the houses of God in possession.

13      O my God, make them like a wheel; as the stubble before the wind.

14      As the fire burneth a wood, and as the flame setteth the mountains on fire;

15      So persecute them with thy tempest, and make them afraid with thy storm.

16      Fill their faces with shame; that they may seek thy name, O LORD.

17      Let them be confounded and troubled for ever; yea, let them be put to shame, and perish:

18      That men may know that thou, whose name alone is JEHOVAH, art the most high over all the earth.
