PSALM LXXXIII. A Song, A Psalm of Asaph.
1 AN intermitting silence let ‖ not be with Thee, O God; ‖ as one deaf hold thou not thy peace; ‖ and be not still, O God. ‖
2 For that, behold thy Enemies ‖ make a tumultuous noise; ‖ and they that are thy haters do ‖ proudly lift up the head. ‖
3 Against thy People they have had ‖ cunning contrivances; ‖ and have their consultations held ‖ against thy hidden ones. ‖
4 They've said, Come let's destroy them quite ‖ to be no Nation now; ‖ That so the Name of Israel may ‖ be mentioned no more. ‖
