Image is to set the theme, not to be accurate.

83 Keep not thou silence, O God: hold not thy peace, and be not still, O God.

² For, lo, thine enemies make a tumult: and they that hate thee have lifted up the head.

³ They have taken crafty counsel against thy people, and consulted against thy hidden ones.

⁴ They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation; that the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance.

⁵ For they have consulted together with one consent: they are confederate against thee:

⁶ The tabernacles of Edom, and the Ishmaelites; of Moab, and the Hagarenes;

⁷ Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek; the Philistines with the inhabitants of Tyre;

⁸ Assur also is joined with them: they have holpen the children of Lot. Selah.

⁹ Do unto them as unto the Midianites; as to Sisera, as to Jabin, at the brook of Kison:

¹⁰ Which perished at Endor: they became as dung for the earth.

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

¹² Who said, Let us take to ourselves the houses of God in possession.

¹³ O my God, make them like a wheel; as the stubble before the wind.

¹⁴ As the fire burneth a wood, and as the flame setteth the mountains on fire;

¹⁵ So persecute them with thy tempest, and make them afraid with thy storm.

¹⁶ Fill their faces with shame; that they may seek thy name, O Lord .

¹⁷ Let them be confounded and troubled for ever; yea, let them be put to shame, and perish:

¹⁸ That men may know that thou, whose name alone is Jehovah , art the most high over all the earth.

One of Asaph’s songs of praise.

83 God, don’t keep quiet!
Don’t close your ears!
Please say something, God.
² Your enemies are getting ready to do something.
Those who hate you will soon attack.
³ They are making secret plans against your people.
Your enemies are discussing plans against the people you love.
⁴ They say, “Come, let us destroy them completely.
Then no one will ever again remember the name Israel.”
⁵ God, they have all joined together.
They have united against you.
^6-7 Their army includes the Edomites, Ishmaelites, Moabites, and Hagar’s descendants,
the people of Byblos, Ammon, and Amalek,
the Philistines, and the people of Tyre.
⁸ Even the Assyrians have joined them.
They have made Lot’s descendants very powerful. Selah

⁹ God, defeat them just as you defeated Midian.
Do what you did to Sisera and Jabin at the Kishon River.
¹⁰ You destroyed the enemy at Endor,
and their bodies rotted on the ground.
¹¹ Punish their leaders as you did Oreb and Zeeb.
Do what you did to Zebah and Zalmunna.
¹² They said, “Let’s make this land our own—
these fields of grass that belong to God!”
¹³ Make them like weeds blown by the wind.
Scatter them the way wind scatters straw.
¹⁴ Be like a fire that destroys a forest
or like a flame that sets the hills on fire.
¹⁵ Chase them away with your blasts of wind;
frighten them with your storms.
¹⁶ Lord , cover them with shame
until they come to you for help.
¹⁷ May they be forever ashamed and afraid.
Disgrace and defeat them.
¹⁸ Then they will know that your name is Yahweh —
that you alone are the Lord .
They will know that you are God Most High,
ruler over all the earth!

God implored to confound his enemies.

A Song, a Psalm of Asaph.

83 O God, keep not thou silence:
Hold not thy peace, and be not still, O God.
² For, lo, thine enemies make a tumult;
And they that hate thee have lifted up the head.
³ They take crafty counsel against thy people,
And consult together against thy hidden ones.
⁴ They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation;
That the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance.
⁵ For they have consulted together with one consent;
Against thee do they make a covenant:
⁶ The tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites;
Moab, and the ^{[ a ]} Hagarenes;
⁷ Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek;
Philistia with the inhabitants of Tyre:
⁸ Assyria also is joined with them;
They have ^{[ b ]} helped the children of Lot. Selah
⁹ Do thou unto them as unto Midian,
As to Sisera, as to Jabin, at the river Kishon;
¹⁰ Who perished at Endor,
Who became as dung for the earth.
¹¹ Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb;
Yea, all their princes like Zebah and Zalmunna;
¹² Who said, Let us take to ourselves in possession
The ^{[ c ]} habitations of God.
¹³ O my God, make them like the whirling dust;
As stubble before the wind.
¹⁴ As the fire that burneth the forest,
And as the flame that setteth the mountains on fire,
¹⁵ So pursue them with thy tempest,
And terrify them with thy storm.
¹⁶ Fill their faces with confusion,
That they may seek thy name, O Jehovah.
¹⁷ Let them be put to shame and dismayed for ever;
Yea, let them be confounded and perish;
¹⁸ That they may know that ^{[ d ]} thou alone, whose name is Jehovah,
Art the Most High over all the earth.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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