Psalm 83:2

Prayer Against Enemies

¹ A song, a psalm of Asaph. O God, do not be silent! Do not ignore us! Do not be inactive, O God! ² For look, your enemies are making a commotion; those who hate you are hostile. ³ They carefully plot against your people, and make plans to harm the ones you cherish.
