Read the chapter

1A song. A Psalm by Asaph. God, don’t keep silent. Don’t keep silent, and don’t be still, God. ✦ 2For, behold, your enemies are stirred up. Those who hate you have lifted up their heads. ✦ 3They conspire with cunning against your people. They plot against your cherished ones. ✦ 4“Come,” they say, “let’s destroy them as a nation, that the name of Israel may be remembered no more.” ✦ 5For they have conspired together with one mind. They form an alliance against you. ✦ 6The tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites; Moab, and the Hagrites; ✦ 7Gebal, Ammon, and Amalek; Philistia with the inhabitants of Tyre; ✦ 8Assyria also is joined with them. They have helped the children of Lot. Selah. ✦ 9Do to them as you did to Midian, as to Sisera, as to Jabin, at the river Kishon; ✦ 10who perished at Endor, who became as dung for the earth. ✦ 11Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb; yes, all their princes like Zebah and Zalmunna; ✦ 12who said, “Let us take possession of God’s pasture lands.” ✦ 13My God, make them like tumbleweed; like chaff before the wind. ✦ 14As the fire that burns the forest, as the flame that sets the mountains on fire, ✦ 15so pursue them with your tempest, and terrify them with your storm. ✦ 16Fill their faces with confusion, that they may seek your name, Yahweh. ✦ 17Let them be disappointed and dismayed forever. Yes, let them be confounded and perish; ✦ 18that they may know that you alone, whose name is Yahweh, are the Most High over all the earth. ✦

Christ at the center

The Psalms are Christ's own prayer book and a gallery of his portraits — the suffering one of Psalm 22, the risen Lord of Psalm 16, the priest-king of Psalm 110, the Son to whom the nations are given.

How Psalms 83 points to him is part of the one story that runs through all Scripture — meet Jesus at the heart of the web, or follow a trail that traces him from Genesis to Revelation.
