psalms 83:1 Keep not thou silence, O God: hold not thy peace, and be not still, O God. - Free Bible Online

psalms 83:1 [A Song, a Psalm of Asaph]. O God, do not remain quiet; Do not be silent and, O God, do not be still.

      Ps 83:1-18. Of Asaph--(See on Ps 74:1, title). The historical occasion is probably that of 2Ch 20:1, 2 (compare Ps 47:1-9; 48:1-14). After a general petition, the craft and rage of the combined enemies are described, God's former dealings recited, and a like summary and speedy destruction on them is invoked.

      1. God addressed as indifferent (compare Ps 35:22; 39:12).
      be not still--literally, "not quiet," as opposed to action.

JFB.
