Read the chapter

1Donot keep silent, O God! Do not hold Your peace, And do not be still, O God! ✦ 2For behold, Your enemies make a tumult; And those who hate You have lifted up their head. ✦ 3They have taken crafty counsel against Your people, And consulted together against Your sheltered ones. ✦ 4They have said, “Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation, That the name of Israel may be remembered no more.” ✦ 5For they have consulted together with one consent; They form a confederacy 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 has joined with them; They have helped the children of Lot. Selah ✦ 9Deal with them as with Midian, As with Sisera, As with Jabin at the Brook Kishon, ✦ 10Who perished at En Dor, Who became as refuse on the earth. ✦ 11Make their nobles like Oreb and like Zeeb, Yes, all their princes like Zebah and Zalmunna, ✦ 12Who said, “Let us take for ourselves The pastures of God for a possession.” ✦ 13O my God, make them like the whirling dust, Like the chaff before the wind! ✦ 14As the fire burns the woods, And as the flame sets the mountains on fire, ✦ 15So pursue them with Your tempest, And frighten them with Your storm. ✦ 16Fill their faces with shame, That they may seek Your name, O Lord. ✦ 17Let them be confounded and dismayed forever; Yes, let them be put to shame and perish, ✦ 18That they may know that You, whose name alone is the Lord, 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.
