Psalms 83:9–13 · Berean Standard Bible

9 Do to them as You did to Midian, as to Sisera and Jabin at the River Kishon,

10 who perished at Endor and became like dung on the ground.

11 Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb, and all their princes like Zebah and Zalmunna,

12 who said, “Let us possess for ourselves the pastures of God.”

13 Make them like tumbleweed, O my God, like chaff before the wind.
