Strongs On/Off
Context
Psalm 83
83:1 A song, a psalm of Asaph. O God, do not be silent! Do not ignore us! Do not be inactive, O God! 83:2 For look, your enemies are making a commotion; those who hate you are hostile. 83:3 They carefully plot against your people, and make plans to harm the ones you cherish. 83:4 They say, “Come on, let’s annihilate them so they are no longer a nation! Then the name of Israel will be remembered no more.” 83:5 Yes, they devise a unified strategy; they form an alliance against you. 83:6 It includes the tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites, Moab and the Hagrites, 83:7 Gebal, Ammon, and Amalek, Philistia and the inhabitants of Tyre. 83:8 Even Assyria has allied with them, lending its strength to the descendants of Lot. (Selah) 83:9 Do to them as you did to Midian– as you did to Sisera and Jabin at the Kishon River! 83:10 They were destroyed at Endor; their corpses were like manure on the ground. 83:11 Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb, and all their rulers like Zebah and Zalmunna, 83:12 who said, “Let’s take over the pastures of God!” 83:13 O my God, make them like dead thistles, like dead weeds blown away by the wind! 83:14 Like the fire that burns down the forest, or the flames that consume the mountainsides, 83:15 chase them with your gale winds, and terrify them with your windstorm. 83:16 Cover their faces with shame, so they might seek you, O Lord. 83:17 May they be humiliated and continually terrified! May they die in shame! 83:18 Then they will know that you alone are the Lord, the sovereign king over all the earth.
