83 (E). DESTRUCTION OF THE ENEMIES OF THE SANCTUARY. (Introversion.)

E B       1 Appeal against enemies.
            1. Keep not thou silence, O God: hold not thy peace, and be not still, O God.
    C y1   2,3 Their combination. "For".
            2. For, lo, thine enemies make a tumult: and they that hate thee have lifted up the head.
            3. They have taken crafty counsel against thy people, and consulted against thy hidden ones.
        z1 4 Their words.
            4. They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation; that the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance.
      y2   5-8 Their combination. "For".
            5. For they have consulted together with one consent: they are confederate against thee:
            6. The tabernacles of Edom, and the Ishmaelites; of Moab, and the Hagarenes;
            7. Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek; the Philistines with the inhabitants of Tyre;
            8. Assur also is joined with them: they have holpen the children of Lot. Selah.
    C y3   9-11 Enemies. Their punishment.
            9. Do unto them as unto the Midianites; as to Sisera, as to Jabin, at the brook of Kison:
            10. Which perished at Endor: they became as dung for the earth.
            11. Make their nobles like Oreb, and like Zeeb: yea, all their princes as Zebah, and as Zalmunna:
        z2 12 Their words.
            12. Who said, Let us take to ourselves the houses of God in possession.
      y4   13-15 Enemies. Their punishment.
            13. O my God, make them like a wheel; as the stubble before the wind.
            14. As the fire burneth a wood, and as the flame setteth the mountains on fire;
            15. So persecute them with thy tempest, and make them afraid with thy storm.
  B       16-18 Appeal against enemies.
            16. Fill their faces with shame; that they may seek thy name, O LORD.
            17. Let them be confounded and troubled for ever; yea, let them be put to shame, and perish:
            18. That men may know that thou, whose name alone is JEHOVAH, art the most high over all the earth.
