Psalms 83
Bishops' Bible
1A song, the psalme of Asaph. Holde not thy tongue O Lorde: kepe not styll scilence, refraine not thy selfe O Lorde.
2For beholde, thyne enemies make an vprore: and they that hate thee, haue lifted vp their head.
3They haue deuised shrewde counsell against thy people: and they haue consulted against thyne, whom thou defendest.
4They haue said, come, and let vs roote them out, that they be no more a people: and that the name of Israel may be no more in remembraunce.
5For they haue conspired all in one minde: & are confederate against thee.
6The pauilions of Edom and the Ismaelites: of Moab, and Hagerites,
7Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalec: the Philistines with the inhabitauntes of Tyre.
8Assur also is ioyned vnto them: they were a great ayde to the chyldren of Lot. Selah.
9But do thou vnto them, as vnto Midian: as vnto Sisera, as vnto Iabin at the brooke Kishon.
10Whiche perished at Ein Dor: and became as the doung of the earth.
11Make them, their princes, and al their captaynes: lyke Oreb, and lyke Zeeb, and lyke Salmunna.
12Whiche sayd, let vs take to our selues: the houses of God in possession.
13O my Lorde, make them lyke vnto a wheele: and as chaffe before the winde.
14Lyke as a fire that burneth vp the wood: and as the flambe that consumeth the mountaynes.
15Persecute them euen so with thy tempest: and make them afrayde with thy storme.
16Make shame to appeare in their faces: that they may seeke thy name O God.
17Let them be confounded and astonied with feare euer more & more: let them be put to shame, and perishe.
18And let them knowe that thou in thy name God eternall art only: O thou the most highest ouer all the earth.
