Psalm 83:9-18
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
9 Do to them as you did to Midian,
as to Sisera and Jabin at the Wadi Kishon,(A)
10 who were destroyed at En-dor,
who became dung for the ground.
11 Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb,
all their princes like Zebah and Zalmunna,(B)
12 who said, “Let us take the pastures of God
for our own possession.”(C)
13 O my God, make them like whirling dust,[a]
like chaff before the wind.(D)
14 As fire consumes the forest,
as the flame sets the mountains ablaze,(E)
15 so pursue them with your tempest
and terrify them with your hurricane.(F)
16 Fill their faces with shame,
so that they may seek your name, O Lord.
17 Let them be put to shame and dismayed forever;
let them perish in disgrace.(G)
18 Let them know that you alone,
whose name is the Lord,
are the Most High over all the earth.(H)
