New English Translation

Psalms 83:11-18 New English Translation (NET)

11. Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb,and all their rulers like Zebah and Zalmunna,

12. who said, “Let’s take over the pastures of God!”

13. O my God, make them like dead thistles,like dead weeds blown away by the wind!

14. Like the fire that burns down the forest,or the flames that consume the mountainsides,

15. chase them with your gale winds,and terrify them with your windstorm.

16. Cover their faces with shame,so they might seek you, O Lord.

17. May they be humiliated and continually terrified!May they die in shame!

18. Then they will know that you alone are the Lord,the sovereign king over all the earth.
