Psalms 83

Psalm 83, attributed to Asaph, is an imprecatory prayer imploring YHWH not to remain silent as a vast coalition of enemies—including Edom, Ishmaelites, Moab, and others—conspires to destroy Israel and seize the pastures of God.[1][2][3] The psalmist invokes YHWH's past victories over Midian, Sisera, Jabin, Oreb, Zeeb, Zebah, and Zalmunna, beseeching divine judgment to scatter them like chaff, consume them like fire, and shame them so they recognize YHWH alone as the Most High over all the earth.[1][3][4]
