What better way to start this site than by a prayer for Israel and God’s chosen people as written in Psalm 83:

A song. A psalm of Asaph.

¹ O God, do not keep silent;
be not quiet, O God, be not still.

² See how your enemies are astir,
how your foes rear their heads.

³ With cunning they conspire against your people;
they plot against those you cherish.

⁴ “Come,” they say, “let us destroy them as a nation,
that the name of Israel be remembered no more.”

⁵ With one mind they plot together;
they form an alliance against you-

⁶ the tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites,
of Moab and the Hagrites,

⁷ Gebal, ^[a] Ammon and Amalek,
Philistia, with the people of Tyre.

⁸ Even Assyria has joined them
to lend strength to the descendants of Lot.
Selah

⁹ Do to them as you did to Midian,
as you did to Sisera and Jabin at the river Kishon,

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

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

¹² who said, “Let us take possession
of the pasturelands of God.”

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

¹⁴ As fire consumes the forest
or a flame sets the mountains ablaze,

¹⁵ so pursue them with your tempest
and terrify them with your storm.

¹⁶ Cover their faces with shame
so that men will seek your name, O LORD.

¹⁷ May they ever be ashamed and dismayed;
may they perish in disgrace.

¹⁸ Let them know that you, whose name is the LORD—
that you alone are the Most High over all the earth.
