Psalms 83: A Prayer Against a Coalition of Enemies

Asaph asks God not to stay silent while a league of surrounding nations, backed by Assyria, plots to wipe out Israel. He asks God to defeat them as He defeated Midian and Sisera in the days of the judges, so that they are shamed and come to know the LORD alone rules the earth.
