83:1  O God, don’t sit idly by, silent and inactive when we pray. Answer us! Deliver us!
83:2  Don’t you hear the tumult and commotion of your enemies? Don’t you see what they are doing, these proud men who hate the Lord?
83:3  They are full of craftiness and plot against your people, laying plans to slay your precious ones.
83:4  “Come,” they say, “and let us wipe out Israel as a nation—we will destroy the very memory of her existence.”
83:5  This was their unanimous decision at their summit conference—they signed a treaty to ally themselves against Almighty God—
83:6  these Ishmaelites and Edomites and Moabites and Hagrites;
83:7  people from the lands of Gebal, Ammon, Amalek, Philistia and Tyre;
83:8  Assyria has joined them too, and is allied with the descendants of Lot.
83:9  Do to them as once you did to Midian, or as you did to Sisera and Jabin at the river Kishon,
83:10  and as you did to your enemies at Endor, whose decaying corpses fertilized the soil.
83:11  Make their mighty nobles die as Oreb did, and Zeeb; let all their princes die like Zebah and Zalmunna,
83:12  who said, “Let us seize for our own use these pasturelands of God!”
83:13  O my God, blow them away like dust; like chaff before the wind—
83:14  as a forest fire that roars across a mountain.
83:15  Chase them with your fiery storms, tempests, and tornados.
83:16  Utterly disgrace them until they recognize your power and name, O Lord.
83:17  Make them failures in everything they do; let them be ashamed and terrified
83:18  until they learn that you alone, Jehovah, are the God above all gods in supreme charge of all the earth.
