Psalms 83
1 A song. A psalm of Asaph. God, please do not stay silent! You can't remain unmoved! God, you must not keep quiet!
| שִׁיר מִזְמוֹר לְאָסָֽף׃ אֱלֹהִים אַל־דֳּמִי־לָךְ אַל־תֶּחֱרַשׁ וְאַל־תִּשְׁקֹט אֵֽל׃ |
2 Can't you hear the roars of your enemies? Can't you see how those who hate you are defiantly lifting up their heads?
| כִּֽי־הִנֵּה אוֹיְבֶיךָ יֶהֱמָיוּן וּמְשַׂנְאֶיךָ נָשְׂאוּ רֹֽאשׁ׃ |
3 They invent cunning plans to conspire against your people; they plot against those you treasure.
| עַֽל־עַמְּךָ יַעֲרִימוּ סוֹד וְיִתְיָעֲצוּ עַל־צְפוּנֶֽיךָ׃ |
4 They say, “Come on! Let's destroy them as a nation so the name ‘Israel’ will be completely forgotten.”
| אָמְרוּ לְכוּ וְנַכְחִידֵם מִגּוֹי וְלֹֽא־יִזָּכֵר שֵֽׁם־יִשְׂרָאֵל עֽוֹד׃ |
5 They all agree in their conspiracy; they've made a treaty together to attack you—
| כִּי נוֹעֲצוּ לֵב יַחְדָּו עָלֶיךָ בְּרִית יִכְרֹֽתוּ׃ |
6 the people of Edom, the Ishmaelites, Moab, and the Hagirites;
| אׇהֳלֵי אֱדוֹם וְיִשְׁמְעֵאלִים מוֹאָב וְהַגְרִֽים׃ |
7 the people of Gebal and Ammon and Amalek, Philistia, and the inhabitants of Tyre.
| גְּבָל וְעַמּוֹן וַעֲמָלֵק פְּלֶשֶׁת עִם־יֹשְׁבֵי צֽוֹר׃ |
8 Assyria too has joined them, allied with the descendants of Lot. (Selah)
| גַּם־אַשּׁוּר נִלְוָה עִמָּם הָיֽוּ זְרוֹעַ לִבְנֵי־לוֹט סֶֽלָה׃ |
9 Do to them what you did to Midian, what you did to Sisera and Jabin at the Kishon River.
| עֲשֵֽׂה־לָהֶם כְּמִדְיָן כְּֽסִיסְרָא כְיָבִין בְּנַחַל קִישֽׁוֹן׃ |
10 They were destroyed at Endor and became like manure to fertilize the ground.
| נִשְׁמְדוּ בְֽעֵין־דֹּאר הָיוּ דֹמֶן לָאֲדָמָֽה׃ |
11 Make their leaders like Oreb and Zeeb; all their rulers like Zebah and Zalmunna,
| שִׁיתֵמוֹ נְדִיבֵימוֹ כְּעֹרֵב וְכִזְאֵב וּֽכְזֶבַח וּכְצַלְמֻנָּע כׇּל־נְסִיכֵֽימוֹ׃ |
12 for they said, “Let's take the pastures of God for ourselves!”
| אֲשֶׁר אָמְרוּ נִירְשָׁה לָּנוּ אֵת נְאוֹת אֱלֹהִֽים׃ |
13 My God, make them like whirling tumbleweeds, chaff blown away by the wind.
| אֱֽלֹהַי שִׁיתֵמוֹ כַגַּלְגַּל כְּקַשׁ לִפְנֵי־רֽוּחַ׃ |
14 Just like fire that burns the forest, a flame that sets fire to the mountains,
| כְּאֵשׁ תִּבְעַר־יָעַר וּכְלֶהָבָה תְּלַהֵט הָרִֽים׃ |
15 in the same way chase them down with your storm, terrify them with your whirlwind.
| כֵּן תִּרְדְּפֵם בְּסַעֲרֶךָ וּבְסוּפָתְךָ תְבַהֲלֵֽם׃ |
16 Shame them in defeat so that they come to you, Lord!
| מַלֵּא פְנֵיהֶם קָלוֹן וִיבַקְשׁוּ שִׁמְךָ יְהֹוָֽה׃ |
17 Make them ashamed, terrify them forever so that they die in disgrace.
| יֵבֹשׁוּ וְיִבָּהֲלוּ עֲדֵי־עַד וְֽיַחְפְּרוּ וְיֹאבֵֽדוּ׃ |
18 Let them understand that you alone, called the Lord, are the Most High who rules over all the earth.
| וְֽיֵדְעוּ כִּֽי־אַתָּה שִׁמְךָ יְהֹוָה לְבַדֶּךָ עֶלְיוֹן עַל־כׇּל־הָאָֽרֶץ׃ |
