Psalm 83

LOrd be not still, hold not thy tongue,
Behold, how furiously
Thy hatefull foes, in tumults throng,
And lift their heads on high.
Most crafty counsell they have ta'n,
Against us all at once:
Consulting how to work the bane
Of all thy hidden ones.
Come let us cut them off, said they,
And leave no root behind:
So that the name of ISRAEL may
No more remembrance find.
Against thee have they all combin'd,
Advis'd with joint consents:
The Hagarens with Ishmael join'd,
And those at Edoms tents.
With Moabites and Ammonites,
And Gebal do conspire,
The Philistims, Amalakites,
With them that dwell at Tyre.
These Ashur is adjoyn'd unto,
To help the sons of Lot:
To them as unto Midian do,
Gain they what Sis'ra got.

2. Part.
SPeed they as Jabin, Canaans King,
O'rthrown at Kishon brook:
Which there at Endor perishing,
Became as scattered muck.
Like Zeeb and Oreb, ô compell
Their noble Peers to fall:
As Zeba and Zalmunna fell,
So let their Princes all.
Those namely that have spoken thus,
Come on, and let us take
The houses of the LORD to us,
And them our houses make.
Make them (my God) like to a wheel,
Or stubble toss'd with wind:
As burning woods fires fury feel,
Let them this fury find.
As kindling flames at mountains foot,
With fury all deform.
Them with thy tempest persecute,
And fright them with thy storm.
That they ô Lord may seek thy Name,
With shame their faces fill:
Yea let them perish, put to shame,
Confounded, troubled still.
That men may know that thou alone,
Whom we Jehovah call,
In all the earth the onely one
Art highest over all.
