83 O God, do not remain quiet;
Do not be silent and, O God, do not be still.
² For behold, Your enemies make an uproar,
And those who hate You have ^[a]exalted themselves.
³ They make shrewd plans against Your people,
And ^[b]conspire together against Your ^[c]treasured ones.
⁴ They have said, “Come, and let us wipe them out ^[d]as a nation,
That the name of Israel be remembered no more.”
⁵ For they have ^[e]conspired together with one mind;
Against You they make a covenant:
⁶ The tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites,
Moab and the Hagrites;
⁷ Gebal and Ammon and Amalek,
Philistia with the inhabitants of Tyre;
⁸ Assyria also has joined with them;
They have become ^[f]a help to the children of Lot. ^[g]Selah.
