(83: 1) Canticle. Psalm of Asaph. (83: 2) O God, do not remain silent! Do not be silent, and do not rest, O God!
83.2
(83: 3) For, behold, your enemies are stirred up; they that hate you lift up their heads.

83.4
(83: 5) Come, say they, let us destroy them from among the nations, and let the name Israel no longer be remembered!
83.5
(83: 6) They all come together with one heart, They make a covenant against you;
83.6
(83: 7) The tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites, Moab and the Hagarenes,
83.7
(83: 8) Guebal, Ammon, Amalek, The Philistines with the inhabitants of Tire;

(83:10) Treat them like Midian, Like Sisera, like Jabin in the Kison stream!

(83:16) Pursue them thus with your tempest, and cause them to tremble with your hurricane.
83.16
(83:17) Cover their faces with shame, that they may seek your name, O Lord!

(83:18) Let them be confused and terrified forever, Let them be ashamed and perish!
83.18
(83:19) Let them know that you alone, whose name is the Lord, are the Most High over all the earth!
