who said, “Let us take possession of the pasturelands of God.”
Make them like tumbleweed, O my God, like chaff before the
wind. As fire consumes the forest or a flame sets the mountains
ablaze, so pursue them with your tempest and terrify them with
your storm. Cover their faces with shame so that men will seek
your name, O Lord. May they ever be ashamed and dismayed; may
they perish in disgrace.
Let them know that you, whose name is
the Lord- that you alone are the Most High over all the earth.
Psalm 83: 12-18
