1902 Rotherham's Emphasized Bible (EBR)

1 A complaint to God of the enemies' conspiracies. 9 A prayer against them that oppress the Church.

83:1 ¶ [[A Song, a Melody of Asaph.]] O God, Do not keep quiet, Do not hold thy peace, Neither be thou still, O GOD!

83:2 For lo! thine enemies, are tumultuous, And, they who hate thee, have lifted up the head;

83:3 Against thy people, they craftily devise a secret plot, And conspire against thy treasured ones.

83:4 They have said—Come, and let us wipe them out from being a nation, That the name of Israel may be remembered no more.

83:5 For they have taken counsel with one heart, Against thee—a covenant, would they solemnize—

83:6 The tents of Edom, and the Ishmaelites, of Moab and the Hagarenes;

83:7 Gebal and Ammon, and Amalek, The Philistines, with the dwellers in Tyre;

83:8 Even Assyria hath joined herself with them, They have become an arm to the sons of Lot. [Selah.]

83:9 ¶ Make them like Midian, like Sisera, like Jabin, by the torrent of Kishon;

83:10 They perished at En-dor, They become manure for the soil!

83:11 Make them—their nobles—like Oreb and like Zeeb, And, like Zebah and like Zalmunna, all their princes:

83:12 Who said—Let us take a possession for ourselves, The pastures of God!

83:13 O my God, make them, As whirling [dust], As chaff before a wind;

83:14 As a fire burneth a forest,—And as a flame setteth mountains ablaze,

83:15 So, wilt thou pursue them with thy tempest,—And, with thy storm-wind, wilt terrify them:

83:16 Fill thou their faces with dishonour, That men may seek thy Name, O Yahweh;

83:17 Let them turn pale, and be terrified to futurity, Yea let them blush, and perish:

83:18 That men may know that, thou, Whose Name alone is Yahweh, Art Most High over all the earth.
