Psalms of David - Modern Translation - Psalm 83

O God, do not be silent,
do not turn away or hold Your peace.

For trouble rises against Your people,
those who seek harm conspire together.

They say, "Let us erase them,
let their name be forgotten forever."

With one voice they plot,
joining forces against those You love.

Yet You, O Lord, are greater than all,
Your power surpasses every scheme.

As the wind scatters the chaff,
as fire consumes the forest,
so drive away all that rises against Your will.

Fill them with awe, O Lord,
that they may seek Your name.

Let them know that You alone are God,
Most High over all the earth.
