Psalm 83

English Standard Version

O God, Do Not Keep Silence

A Song. A Psalm of ^(A)Asaph.

83 O God, do not keep silence;
    ^(B)do not hold your peace or be still, O God!
²For behold, your enemies ^(C)make an uproar;
    those who hate you have ^(D)raised their heads.
³They lay ^(E)crafty plans against your people;
    they consult together against your ^(F)treasured ones.
⁴They say, “Come, ^(G)let us wipe them out as a nation;
    let the name of Israel be remembered no more!”
⁵For they conspire with one accord;
    against you they make a covenant—
⁶the tents of ^(H)Edom and ^(I)the Ishmaelites,
    ^(J)Moab and ^(K)the Hagrites,
⁷^(L)Gebal and ^(M)Ammon and ^(N)Amalek,
    ^(O)Philistia with the inhabitants of ^(P)Tyre;
⁸^(Q)Asshur also has joined them;
    they are the strong arm of ^(R)the children of Lot. Selah

⁹Do to them as you did to ^(S)Midian,
    as to ^(T)Sisera and Jabin at ^(U)the river Kishon,
¹⁰who were destroyed at ^(V)En-dor,
    who became ^(W)dung for the ground.
¹¹Make their nobles like ^(X)Oreb and Zeeb,
    all their princes like ^(Y)Zebah and Zalmunna,
¹²who said, ^(Z)“Let us take possession for ourselves
    of the pastures of God.”

¹³O my God, make them like ^(AA)whirling dust,^[a]
    like ^(AB)chaff before the wind.
¹⁴As ^(AC)fire consumes the forest,
    as the flame ^(AD)sets the mountains ablaze,
¹⁵so may you pursue them ^(AE)with your tempest
    and terrify them with your hurricane!
¹⁶^(AF)Fill their faces with shame,
    that they may seek your name, O Lord.
¹⁷Let them be ^(AG)put to shame and dismayed forever;
    let them perish in disgrace,
¹⁸that they may ^(AH)know that you alone,
    ^(AI)whose name is the Lord,
    are ^(AJ)the Most High over all the earth.

Luke 9:51-62

English Standard Version

A Samaritan Village Rejects Jesus

⁵¹When the days drew near for ^(A)him to be taken up, ^(B)he set his face ^(C)to go to Jerusalem. ⁵²And ^(D)he sent messengers ahead of him, who went and entered a village of ^(E)the Samaritans, to make preparations for him. ⁵³But ^(F)the people did not receive him, because ^(G)his face was set toward Jerusalem. ⁵⁴And when his disciples James and John saw it, they said, “Lord, do you want us to tell ^(H)fire to come down from heaven and consume them?”^[a] ⁵⁵But he turned and rebuked them.^[b] ⁵⁶And they went on to another village.

The Cost of Following Jesus

⁵⁷As they were going ^(I)along the road, ^(J)someone said to him, “I will follow you wherever you go.” ⁵⁸And Jesus said to him, “Foxes have holes, and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay his head.” ⁵⁹To another he said, “Follow me.” But he said, “Lord, let me first go and bury my father.” ⁶⁰And Jesus^[c] said to him, “Leave ^(K)the dead to bury their own dead. But as for you, go and ^(L)proclaim the kingdom of God.” ⁶¹Yet another said, “I will follow you, Lord, ^(M)but let me first say farewell to those at my home.” ⁶²Jesus said to him, ^(N)“No one who puts his hand to the plow and looks back is fit for the kingdom of God.”
