Psalms 83 — Context

9

Do to them as you did to Midian– as you did to Sisera and Jabin at the Kishon River!

10

They were destroyed at En Dor; their corpses were like manure on the ground.

11

Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb, and all their rulers like Zebah and Zalmunna,

12

who said,“Let’s take over the pastures of God!”

13

O my God, make them like dead thistles, like dead weeds blown away by the wind!

14

Like the fire that burns down the forest, or the flames that consume the mountainsides,

15

chase them with your gale winds, and terrify them with your windstorm.
