Psalms 83:11-18 Common English Bible (CEB)

11. Make their officials like Oreb and Zeeb,all their princes like Zebah and Zalmunna—

12. those who said, "Let’s take God’s pastures for ourselves."

13. My God, make them like tumbleweeds,like chaff blown by wind.

14. Just like a fire consumes a forest,just like flames set mountains ablaze,

15. pursue them with your storm,terrify them with your hurricane.

16. Cover their faces with shame, Lord, so that they might seek your name.

17. Let them be shamed and terrified forever.Let them die in disgrace.

18. Let them know that you—your name is the Lord!—you alone are Most High over all the earth.
