A psalm for this political season...


O Lord, Do Not Keep Silence
Psalm 83

O Lord, do not keep silent,
And do not hold Your peace;
Behold the awful tumult
Raised by Your enemies.
The wicked heathen nations
Have lifted up their head;
They plot against Your people,
And they would see us dead.

O Lord, set them all whirling,
Like chaff before the wind!
Pursue them with Your tempest,
In fire and storm descend!
Let them all be confounded,
May they be put to shame;
That they may know Jehovah,
That they may seek Your name!
