1898 Young's Literal Translation (YLT)

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

83:1 ¶ A Song,—A Psalm of Asaph. O God, let there be no silence to Thee, Be not silent, nor be quiet, O God.

83:2 For, lo, Thine enemies do roar, And those hating Thee have lifted up the head,

83:3 Against Thy people they take crafty counsel, And consult against Thy hidden ones.

83:4 They have said, 'Come, And we cut them off from [being] a nation, And the name of Israel is not remembered any more.'

83:5 For they consulted in heart together, Against Thee a covenant they make,

83:6 Tents of Edom, and Ishmaelites, Moab, and the Hagarenes,

83:7 Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek, Philistia with inhabitants of Tyre,

83:8 Asshur also is joined with them, They have been an arm to sons of Lot. Selah.

83:9 Do to them as [to] Midian, As [to] Sisera, as [to] Jabin, at the stream Kishon.

83:10 They were destroyed at Endor, They were dung for the ground!

83:11 Make their nobles as Oreb and as Zeeb, And as Zebah and Zalmunna all their princes,

83:12 Who have said, 'Let us occupy for ourselves The comely places of God.'

83:13 O my God, make them as a rolling thing, As stubble before wind.

83:14 As a fire doth burn a forest, And as a flame setteth hills on fire,

83:15 So dost Thou pursue them with Thy whirlwind, And with Thy hurricane troublest them.

83:16 Fill their faces [with] shame, And they seek Thy name, O Jehovah.

83:17 They are ashamed and troubled for ever, Yea, they are confounded and lost.

83:18 And they know that Thou—(Thy name [is] Jehovah—by Thyself,) [Art] the Most High over all the earth!
