Psalms 83 Comparison: Geneva Bible 1599 vs King James Version

Psalms 83

¹A song, or Psalme committed to Asaph. Keep not thou silence, O God: bee not still, and cease not, O God.

²For lo, thine enemies make a tumult: and they that hate thee, haue lifted vp the head.

³They haue taken craftie counsell against thy people, and haue consulted against thy secret ones.

⁴They haue said, Come and let vs cut them off from being a nation: and let the name of Israel be no more in remembrance.

⁵For they haue consulted together in heart, and haue made a league against thee:

⁶The tabernacles of Edom, and the Ishmaelites, Moab and the Agarims:

⁷Gebal and Ammon, and Amalech, the Philistims with the inhabitants of Tyrus:

⁸Asshur also is ioyned with them: they haue bene an arme to the children of Lot. Selah.

⁹Doe thou to them as vnto the Midianites: as to Sisera and as to Iabin at the riuer of Kishon.

¹⁰They perished at En-dor, and were dung for the earth.

¹¹Make them, euen their princes like Oreb and like Zeeb: yea, all their princes like Zebah and like Zalmuna.

¹²Which haue said, Let vs take for our possession the habitations of God.

¹³O my God, make them like vnto a wheele, and as the stubble before the winde.

¹⁴As the fire burneth the forest, and as the flame setteth the mountaines on fire:

¹⁵So persecute them with thy tempest, and make them afraide with thy storme.

¹⁶Fill their faces with shame, that they may seeke thy Name, O Lord.

¹⁷Let them be confounded and troubled for euer: yea, let them be put to shame and perish,

¹⁸That they may knowe that thou, which art called Iehouah, art alone, euen the most High ouer all the earth.

Psalms 83

¹Keep not thou silence, O God: hold not thy peace, and be not still, O God.

²For, lo, thine enemies make a tumult: and they that hate thee have lifted up the head.

³They have taken crafty counsel against thy people, and consulted against thy hidden ones.

⁴They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation; that the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance.

⁵For they have consulted together with one consent: they are confederate against thee:

⁶The tabernacles of Edom, and the Ishmaelites; of Moab, and the Hagarenes;

⁷Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek; the Philistines with the inhabitants of Tyre;

⁸Assur also is joined with them: they have holpen the children of Lot. Selah.

⁹Do unto them as unto the Midianites; as to Sisera, as to Jabin, at the brook of Kison:

¹⁰Which perished at En–dor: they became as dung for the earth.

¹¹Make their nobles like Oreb, and like Zeeb: yea, all their princes as Zebah, and as Zalmunna:

¹²Who said, Let us take to ourselves the houses of God in possession.

¹³O my God, make them like a wheel; as the stubble before the wind.

¹⁴As the fire burneth a wood, and as the flame setteth the mountains on fire;

¹⁵So persecute them with thy tempest, and make them afraid with thy storm.

¹⁶Fill their faces with shame; that they may seek thy name, O Lord.

¹⁷Let them be confounded and troubled for ever; yea, let them be put to shame, and perish:

¹⁸That men may know that thou, whose name alone is Jehovah, art the most high over all the earth.
