Psalm 83 Prayer to Frustrate Conspiracy Against Israel

Psalm 83:1-18 Prayer to Frustrate Conspiracy Against Israel
A Song. A Psalm of Asaph.

Psalm 83:1-4
1 Do not keep silent, O God!
Do not hold Your peace,
And do not be still, O God!
2
For behold, Your enemies make a tumult (uproar);
And those who hate You have lifted up their head (exalted themselve).
3
They have taken crafty counsel against Your people,
And consulted together against Your sheltered ones.
4
They have said, “Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation,
That the name of Israel may be remembered no more.”

Psalm 83:13-18
13
O my God, make them like the whirling dust,
Like the chaff before the wind!
14
As the fire burns the woods,
And as the flame sets the mountains on fire,
15
So pursue them with Your tempest,
And frighten them with Your storm.
16
Fill their faces with shame,
That they may seek Your name, O Lord.
17
Let them be confounded (ashamed) and dismayed forever;
Yes, let them be put to shame and perish,
18
That they may know that You, whose name alone is the Lord,
Are the Most High over all the earth.
