Psalm 83
A Prayer
For Israel and The Church!
A Song.
A Psalm of Asaph.
Do not keep silent, O ELOHIM!
Do not hold Your Peace and do not
be still, O ELOHIM!
For look, Your enemies make an uproar;
and those who hate You have exalted themselves.
They have craftly taken council
against Your people and conspire against You sheltered ones.
They have said, “Come let us wipe
them out as a nation, and let the name of Israel (Christianity) be remembered
no more!”
For they have conspired together
with one heart, they have made a covenant against You –
The tents of Edom (Esau) and the
Ishmaelites, Moab and the Hagrites, Gebal, Ammon, Amalek; Philistia with its
inhabitants of Tyre; Assyria also has joined with them; they have helped the
children of Lot.
Selah!
Deal with them as with Midian, as
with Sisera, as with Jabin at the Brook Kishon, who perished at En Dor, who
became as dung on the ground; make their nobles like Oreb and like Zeeb, yes
all their princes like Zebah and Zalmunna; who said, “Let us take for ourselves
the pastures of ELOHIM for a Possession!”
O my ELOHIM, make them as whirling
dust, like chaff before the wind.
As a fire consumes a forest and as
a flame sets a mountain on fire, so pursue them with Your whirlwind, and frighten
them with Your storm!
Fill their faces with shame, and
let them seek Your Name, O JEHOVAH!
Let them be ashamed and frightened
forever O JEHOVAH!
Let them be put to shame and
perish!
Let them know that You, Whose Name
is JEHOVAH, You alone are The Most High over all the earth!
It is interesting how many of
Israel’s enemies were and are blood relatives. It is the same today many
Christian sects are opposed to GOD and His Will.
