Psalms 83 · Grade 3
Don't Keep Silent
Read the Story
The title of Psalm 83 calls it a song and a Psalm by Asaph. It begins, God, don't keep silent. Your enemies are stirred up. They plot against your cherished ones. They plot to destroy Israel as a nation, so that its name will be remembered no more.
Many nations joined together, like Edom, Moab, Ammon, Philistia and Assyria. Asaph asked God to act as he did long ago in the days of Gideon and Deborah. He left the fight to God.
Asaph prayed, Fill their faces with confusion, that they may seek your name, Yahweh. He wanted them to know that you alone, whose name is Yahweh, are the Most High over all the earth.
