Psalms 83 — Context

Who were destroyed at En-dor, Who became as dung for the ground.

Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb And all their princes like Zebah and Zalmunna,

Who said, "Let us possess for ourselves The pastures of God."

O my God, make them like the whirling dust, Like chaff before the wind.

Like fire that burns the forest And like a flame that sets the mountains on fire,

So pursue them with Your tempest And terrify them with Your storm.

Fill their faces with dishonor, That they may seek Your name, O LORD.
