Here is a chord chart for Psalm 83 - Psalm 83C in the Book of Psalms for Singing. It is sung to the tune Salvum Fac. This a wonderful jig that I think can be used to get people excited about Psalm singing.
Em Am Em G A Em
Do not be silent God, or unresponding. Do not remain at rest, O Mighty One.
Em Am Em G A Em
For now Your foes arouse and make a clamor; Your bitter enemies lift up the head.
G Am G A
Against Your people now they plot in secret; They meet to work against Your hidden ones.
Em Am Em G A Em
They say, “Let us go up and end their nation. The name of Israel shall be no more!”
Em Am Em G A Em
Together they conspire in deadly earnest; Against You they have made a covenant.
Em Am Em G A Em
The Ishmaelites are there the tents of Edom, The men of Moab with Hagarenes.
G Am G A
See Gebal, Amalek, with men of Ammon; Behold Philistia and them of Tyre.
Em Am Em G A Em
For as Ashur too has come and joins their forces; They are the power of the sons of Lot.
Em Am Em G A Em
Treat them like Midian, like Jabin’s army. Treat them like Sisera at Kishon’s brook.
Em Am Em G A Em
At Endor they were all annihilated, And they became as dung upon the ground.
G Am G
Like Oreb, make their chiefs. Their lords like Zebah! Who thought they would possess the
A
land of God.
Em Am Em G A Em
My God, O make them be wilrling dust clouds; Make them like bits of chaff upon the wind.
Em Am Em G A
Like fire that burns the woods, like flames of lightning, pursue them with Your storms and
Em
strike with fear
Em Am Em G A Em
Fill up their faces with humiliation, And let them seek Your name, Jehovah, then.
G Am G A
Let them be terrified and shamed forever, And let them be dismayed and be destroyed.
Em Am Em G A Em
Let them know You alone – You are Jehovah. You are the One Most High o’er all the earth.
