Psalm 83

1 O God, do not remain silent; do not turn a deaf ear, do not stand aloof, O God.

1 God, don't shut me out; don't give me the silent treatment, O God.

2 See how your enemies growl, how your foes rear their heads.

2 Your enemies are out there whooping it up, the God-haters are living it up;

3 With cunning they conspire against your people; they plot against those you cherish.

3 They're plotting to do your people in, conspiring to rob you of your precious ones.

4 “Come,” they say, “let us destroy them as a nation, so that Israel’s name is remembered no more.”

4 "Let's wipe this nation from the face of the earth," they say; "scratch Israel's name off the books."

5 With one mind they plot together; they form an alliance against you—

5 And now they're putting their heads together, making plans to get rid of you.

6 the tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites, of Moab and the Hagrites,

6 Edom and the Ishmaelites, Moab and the Hagrites,

7 Byblos, Ammon and Amalek, Philistia, with the people of Tyre.

7 Gebal and Ammon and Amalek, Philistia and the Tyrians,

8 Even Assyria has joined them to reinforce Lot’s descendants.

9 Do to them as you did to Midian, as you did to Sisera and Jabin at the river Kishon,

9 Do to them what you did to Midian, to Sisera and Jabin at Kishon Brook;

10 who perished at Endor and became like dung on the ground.

10 They came to a bad end at Endor, nothing but dung for the garden.

11 Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb, all their princes like Zebah and Zalmunna,

11 Cut down their leaders as you did Oreb and Zeeb, their princes to nothings like Zebah and Zalmunna,

12 who said, “Let us take possession of the pasturelands of God.”

12 With their empty brags, "We're grabbing it all, grabbing God's gardens for ourselves."

13 Make them like tumbleweed, my God, like chaff before the wind.

13 My God! I've had it with them! Blow them away! Tumbleweeds in the desert waste,

14 As fire consumes the forest or a flame sets the mountains ablaze,

14 charred sticks in the burned-over ground.

15 so pursue them with your tempest and terrify them with your storm.

15 Knock the breath right out of them, so they're gasping

16 Cover their faces with shame, LORD, so that they will seek your name.

16 for breath, gasping, "God."

17 May they ever be ashamed and dismayed; may they perish in disgrace.

17 Bring them to the end of their rope, and leave them there dangling, helpless.

18 Let them know that you, whose name is the LORD— that you alone are the Most High over all the earth.

18 Then they'll learn your name: "God," the one and only High God on earth.
