Psalms
Chapter
83
1a~~A
Song {shiyr} or Psalm {mizmowr} of Asaph.
{Note:
Asaph was a prophet, musician and poet - see I Chronicles 6:39. He
wrote the Psalms 50 and 73- 83 which is actually poetry.}
1b
Keep not Your silence, O 'Elohiym/Godhead.
1c
Hold not your peace, and be not still,
O
'Elohiym/Godhead.
2
For, lo, your enemies make a tumult
and
those who hate You have lifted up the head.
3
They have taken crafty counsel against your people,
and
consulted against your hidden ones.
4
They have said,
Come,
and let us cut them off from being a nation;
that
the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance.
5
For they have consulted together with one consent . . .
they
are confederate against you.
6
The tabernacles of Edom, and the Ishmaelites;
of
Moab, and the Hagarenes; 7
Gebal,
and Ammon, and Amalek;
the
Philistines with the inhabitants of Tyre . . . 8
Assur
also is joined with them.
They
have helped the children of Lot.
Selah
{Selah means singers rest and instruments play on -
it is a picture of you resting while the Grace of God
continues on} .
9
Do unto them as unto the Midianites;
as
to Sisera, as to Jabin, at the brook of Kison.
10~~
Who {Arabs} were destroyed at Endor . . .
who
became like dung on the ground.
{Note:
This refers back to the great victory of Gideon's men in Judges 7:23.}
11~~Make
their nobles like the Raven/Oreb, and like the Wolf/Zeeb
{annihilation of the southern retreat in Judges 7}
and
their princes like Zebah, and like Zalmunna
{two Arab kings who fled Gideon's troops to the north -
Isaiah 10:26 also refers to the great slaughter
of the tribe of Ephraim over these Arabs}.
12
Who said,
Let
us take to ourselves
the
houses of 'Elohiym/Godhead in possession.
13
O my 'Elohiym/Godhead,
make
them like a wheel . . .
as
the stubble before the wind . . . 14
as
the fire burns wood . . .
and
as the flame sets the mountains on fire . . . 15
so
persecute them with your tempest,
and
make them afraid with your storm.
16
Fill their faces with shame;
that
they may seek your name, O Jehovah/God.
17
Let them be confounded and troubled forever;
yes,
let them be put to shame, and perish.
18
That men may know that you,
whose
name alone is JEHOVAH,
are
the Most High over all the earth.
