Psalm 83. Deus, quis similis?

1. O God, do not be silent; *
   do not keep still nor hold your peace, O God;
2. For your enemies are in tumult, *
   and those who hate you have lifted up their heads.
3. They take secret counsel against your people *
   and plot against those whom you protect.
4. They have said, "Come, let us wipe them out from among the nations; *
   let the name of Israel be remembered no more."
5. They have conspired together; *
   they have made an alliance against you:
6. The tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites; *
   the Moabites and the Hagarenes;
7. Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek; *
   the Philistines and those who dwell in Tyre.
8. The Assyrians also have joined them, *
   and have come to help the people of Lot.
9. Do to them as you did to Midian, *
   to Sisera, and to Jabin at the river of Kishon:
10. They were destroyed at Endor; *
    they became like dung upon the ground.
11. Make their leaders like Oreb and Zeeb, *
    and all their commanders like Zebah and Zalmunna,
12. Who said, "Let us take for ourselves *
    the fields of God as our possession."
13. O my God, make them like whirling dust *
    and like chaff before the wind;
14. Like fire that burns down a forest, *
    like the flame that sets mountains ablaze.
15. Drive them with your tempest *
    and terrify them with your storm;
16. Cover their faces with shame, O Lord, that they may seek your Name.
17. Let them be disgraced and terrified for ever; let them be put to confusion and perish.
18. Let them know that you, whose Name is Yahweh, *
    you alone are the Most High over all the earth.
