Psalms 83:2-15
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 83
2For behold, Your enemies make an uproar, And those who hate You have exalted themselves. 3They make shrewd plans against Your people, And conspire together against Your treasured ones. 4They have said, 'Come, and let’s wipe them out as a nation, So that the name of Israel will no longer be remembered.' 5For they have conspired together with one mind; They make a covenant against You: 6The tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites, Moab and the Hagrites; 7Gebal, Ammon, and Amalek, Philistia with the inhabitants of Tyre; 8Assyria also has joined them; They have become a help to the children of Lot. Selah 9Deal with them as with Midian, As with Sisera and Jabin at the river of Kishon, 10Who were destroyed at En-dor, Who became like dung for the ground. 11Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb, And all their leaders like Zebah and Zalmunna, 12Who said, 'Let’s possess for ourselves The pastures of God.' 13My God, make them like the whirling dust, Like chaff before the wind. 14Like fire that burns the forest, And like a flame that sets the mountains on fire, 15So pursue them with Your heavy gale, And terrify them with Your storm.King James Version

Chapter 83
2See how your enemies make an uproar; those who hate you have acted arrogantly. 3They devise clever schemes against your people; they conspire against your treasured ones. 4They say, "Come, let us wipe them out as a nation so that Israel’s name will no longer be remembered." 5For they have conspired with one mind; they form an alliance against you — 6the tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites, Moab and the Hagrites, 7Gebal, Ammon, and Amalek, Philistia with the inhabitants of Tyre.
8Even Assyria has joined them; they lend support to the sons of Lot. Selah
9Deal with them as you did with Midian, as you did with Sisera and Jabin at the Kishon River.
10They were destroyed at En-dor; they became manure for the ground.
11Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb, and all their tribal leaders like Zebah and Zalmunna,
New Living Translation
Chapter 83
2Don’t you hear the uproar of your enemies? Don’t you see that your arrogant enemies are rising up? 3They devise crafty schemes against your people; they conspire against your precious ones. 4'Come,' they say, 'let us wipe out Israel as a nation. We will destroy the very memory of its existence.' 5Yes, this was their unanimous decision. They signed a treaty as allies against you — 6these Edomites and Ishmaelites; Moabites and Hagrites; 7Gebalites, Ammonites, and Amalekites; and people from Philistia and Tyre.
9Do to them as you did to the Midianites and as you did to Sisera and Jabin at the Kishon River.
10They were destroyed at Endor, and their decaying corpses fertilized the soil.
11Let their mighty nobles die as Oreb and Zeeb did. Let all their princes die like Zebah and Zalmunna,
12for they said, 'Let us seize for our own use these pasturelands of God!'
13O my God, scatter them like tumbleweed, like chaff before the wind!
14As a fire burns a forest and as a flame sets mountains ablaze,
15chase them with your fierce storm; terrify them with your tempest.
English Standard Version
Chapter 83
2For behold, your enemies make an uproar; those who hate you have raised their heads. 3They lay crafty plans against your people; they consult together against your treasured ones. 4They say, "Come, let us wipe them out as a nation; let the name of Israel be remembered no more!" 5For they conspire with one accord; against you they make a covenant — 6the tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites, Moab and the Hagrites, 7 Gebal and Ammon and Amalek, Philistia with the inhabitants of Tyre; 8 Asshur also has joined them; they are the strong arm of the children of Lot. Selah 9Do to them as you did to Midian, as to Sisera and Jabin at the river Kishon, 10who were destroyed at En-dor, who became dung for the ground. 11Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb, all their princes like Zebah and Zalmunna, 12who said, "Let us take possession for ourselves of the pastures of God." 13O my God, make them like whirling dust, like chaff before the wind. 14As fire consumes the forest, as the flame sets the mountains ablaze, 15so may you pursue them with your tempest and terrify them with your hurricane!New International Version
Chapter 83
2See how your enemies growl, how your foes rear their heads. 3With cunning they conspire against your people; they plot against those you cherish.
4"Come," they say, "let us destroy them as a nation, so that Israel’s name is remembered no more."
5With one mind they plot together; they form an alliance against you—
6the tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites, of Moab and the Hagrites,
7Byblos, Ammon and Amalek, Philistia, with the people of Tyre.
New King James Version
Chapter 83
2For behold, Your enemies make a tumult; And those who hate You have lifted up their head. 3They have taken crafty counsel against Your people, And consulted together against Your sheltered ones. 4They have said, “Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation, That the name of Israel may be remembered no more.” 5For they have consulted together with one consent; They form a confederacy against You: 6 The tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites; Moab and the Hagrites; 7Gebal, Ammon, and Amalek; Philistia with the inhabitants of Tyre;
9Deal with them as with Midian, As with Sisera, As with Jabin at the Brook Kishon,
10Who perished at En Dor, Who became as refuse on the earth.
11Make their nobles like Oreb and like Zeeb, Yes, all their princes like Zebah and Zalmunna,
12Who said, “Let us take for ourselves The pastures of God for a possession.”
13 O my God, make them like the whirling dust, Like the chaff before the wind!
14As the fire burns the woods, And as the flame sets the mountains on fire,
15So pursue them with Your tempest, And frighten them with Your storm.
