Psalm 83

1  Hold not your peace, O God, do not keep silent; ♦︎
   be not unmoved, O God;
2  For your enemies are in tumult ♦︎
   and those who hate you lift up their heads.
3  They take secret counsel against your people ♦︎
   and plot against those whom you treasure.
4  They say, ‘Come, let us destroy them as a nation, ♦︎
   that the name of Israel be remembered no more.’
13  O my God, make them like thistledown, ♦︎
   like chaff before the wind.
14  Like fire that consumes a forest, ♦︎
   like the flame that sets mountains ablaze,
15  So drive them with your tempest ♦︎
   and dismay them with your storm.
16  Cover their faces with shame, O Lord, ♦︎
   that they may seek your name.
17  Let them be disgraced and dismayed for ever; ♦︎
   let them be put to confusion and perish;
18  And they shall know that you, whose name is the Lord, ♦︎
   are alone the Most High over all the earth.
