< Psalms 83 >

1 [A song. A Psalm by Asaph.] God, do not be silent. Do not be deaf, and do not be inactive, God.
שִׁיר מִזְמוֹר לְאָסָֽף׃ אֱלֹהִים אַל־דֳּמִי־לָךְ אַל־תֶּחֱרַשׁ וְאַל־תִּשְׁקֹט אֵֽל׃
2 For, look, your enemies make an uproar. Those who hate you are hostile.
כִּֽי־הִנֵּה אוֹיְבֶיךָ יֶהֱמָיוּן וּמְשַׂנְאֶיךָ נָשְׂאוּ רֹֽאשׁ׃
3 They devise crafty plans against your people, and conspire together against your treasured ones.
עַֽל־עַמְּךָ יַעֲרִימוּ סוֹד וְיִתְיָעֲצוּ עַל־צְפוּנֶֽיךָ׃
4 They say, "Come, and let us annihilate them as a nation; let the name of Israel may be remembered no more."
אָמְרוּ לְכוּ וְנַכְחִידֵם מִגּוֹי וְלֹֽא־יִזָּכֵר שֵֽׁם־יִשְׂרָאֵל עֽוֹד׃
5 For they plot a unified strategy; they make a covenant against you;
כִּי נוֹעֲצוּ לֵב יַחְדָּו עָלֶיךָ בְּרִית יִכְרֹֽתוּ׃
6 the tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites, Moab, and the Hagrites,
אָהֳלֵי אֱדוֹם וְיִשְׁמְעֵאלִים מוֹאָב וְהַגְרֽ͏ִים׃
7 Gebal, Ammon, and Amalek, Philistia with the inhabitants of Tyre.
גְּבָל וְעַמּוֹן וַעֲמָלֵק פְּלֶשֶׁת עִם־יֹשְׁבֵי צֽוֹר׃
8 Assyria too is joined with them; they lend support to the descendants of Lot. (Selah)
גַּם־אַשּׁוּר נִלְוָה עִמָּם הָיוּ זְרוֹעַ לִבְנֵי־לוֹט סֶֽלָה׃
9 Do to them as you did to Midian, as to Sisera, as to Jabin at the Kishon River,
עֲשֵֽׂה־לָהֶם כְּמִדְיָן כְּֽסִֽיסְרָא כְיָבִין בְּנַחַל קִישֽׁוֹן׃
10 who were destroyed at Endor, who became manure for the ground.
נִשְׁמְדוּ בְֽעֵין־דֹּאר הָיוּ דֹמֶן לָאֲדָמָֽה׃
11 Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb, all their princes like Zebah and Zalmunna,
שִׁיתֵמוֹ נְדִיבֵמוֹ כְּעֹרֵב וְכִזְאֵב וּֽכְזֶבַח וּכְצַלְמֻנָּע כָּל־נְסִיכֵֽמוֹ׃
12 who said, "Let us take possession for ourselves the pastures of God."
אֲשֶׁר אָמְרוּ נִירֲשָׁה לָּנוּ אֵת נְאוֹת אֱלֹהִֽים׃
13 My God, make them like tumbleweed; like dead weeds blown by the wind.
אֱ‍ֽלֹהַי שִׁיתֵמוֹ כַגַּלְגַּל כְּקַשׁ לִפְנֵי־רֽוּחַ׃
14 Like a fire that consumes a forest, and like the flames that consume the mountains,
כְּאֵשׁ תִּבְעַר־יָעַר וּכְלֶהָבָה תְּלַהֵט הָרִֽים׃
15 so pursue them with your gale winds, and terrify them with your storm.
כֵּן תִּרְדְּפֵם בְּסַעֲרֶךָ וּבְסוּפָתְךָ תְבַהֲלֵֽם׃
16 Cover their faces with shame, so that they might seek your name, LORD.
מַלֵּא פְנֵיהֶם קָלוֹן וִֽיבַקְשׁוּ שִׁמְךָ יְהוָֽה׃
17 Let them be put to shame and terrified forever; let them perish in disgrace,
יֵבֹשׁוּ וְיִבָּהֲלוּ עֲדֵי־עַד וְֽיַחְפְּרוּ וְיֹאבֵֽדוּ׃
18 that they will know that you alone, whose name is the LORD, are the Most High over all the earth.
וְֽיֵדְעוּ כִּֽי־אַתָּה שִׁמְךָ יְהוָה לְבַדֶּךָ עֶלְיוֹן עַל־כָּל־הָאָֽרֶץ׃
