Your Peace - Psalms 83:1-4

Psalms 83:1-4 ESV 


A Song. A Psalm of Asaph. O God, do not keep silence;

do not hold your peace or be still, O God!

For behold, your enemies make an uproar;

those who hate you have raised their heads.

They lay crafty plans against your people;

they consult together against your treasured ones.

They say, “Come, let us wipe them out as a nation;

let the name of Israel be remembered no more!”


This Psalm, though written long ago, could have been penned yesterday. The nature of man has not changed over time. Even as Cain rose up and killed his brother Able, the nations of Ishmael foam and froth with their hatred of their brother Israel. 


That sea of rebellion will be put to rest as Jesus calms the storm and stills the waters with a word. He will not hold His peace, but bring it to the earth.
