Psalm 83:8-17 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

8. Even Assyria has joined them to give strength to the people of Moab and Ammon. Selah

9. Do to them what you did to the people of Midian. Do to them what you did to Sisera and Jabin at the Kishon River.

10. Sisera and Jabin died near the town of Endor. Their bodies were left to rot on the ground.

11. Do to the nobles of your enemies what you did to Oreb and Zeeb. Do to all of their princes what you did to Zebah and Zalmunna.

12. They said, "Let's take over the grasslands that belong to God."

13. My God, make them like straw that the wind blows away. Make them like tumbleweed.

14. Destroy them as fire burns up a forest. Destroy them as a flame sets mountains on fire.

15. Chase them with your mighty winds. Terrify them with your storm.

16. Lord, put them to shame so that people will worship you.

17. May they always be filled with terror and shame. May they die in dishonor.
