{Psa 83; 1Ch 29:23-25; 2Ch 1:1^**}

    ^83:1 O God, do not keep your silence. Do not hold your peace and do not be still, O God. ^83:2 Because behold, your enemies make a commotion and those who hate you have lifted up the head.

    ^83:3 They take crafty counsel against your people and consult together against your hidden ones. ^83:4They have said, Come and let us cut them off from being a nation, that the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance.

    ^83:5 Because they have consulted together with one consent. They make a covenant against you: ^83:6 the tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites, Moab and the Hagarites {Hagarenes}, ^83:7 Gebal and Ammon and Amalek, Philistia with the inhabitants of Tyre, ^83:8Assyria also is joined with them; they have helped the sons of Lot. Selah.

    ^83:9 Do to them as to Midian, as to Sisera, as to Jabin, at the river Kishon, ^83:10 who perished at En-dor, who became as manure for the earth. ^83:11 Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb, yes, all their rulers like Zebah and Zalmunna, ^83:12 who said, Let us take to ourselves in possession the dwellings of God.

    ^83:13 O my God, make them like the whirling dust, as stubble before the wind, ^83:14 as the fire that burns the forest and as the flame that sets the mountains on fire. ^83:15 So pursue them with your tempest and terrify them with your storm.

    ^83:16 Fill their faces with confusion, that they may seek your name, O Jehovah.

    ^83:17 Let them be put to shame and dismayed forever. Yes, let them be confounded and perish, ^83:18that they may know that you alone, whose name is Jehovah, are the Most High over all the earth.
