Psalms 83
1 A Song, a Melody of Asaph. O God, Do not keep quiet, Do not hold thy peace, Neither be thou still, O GOD!
| שִׁיר מִזְמוֹר לְאָסָֽף׃ אֱלֹהִים אַל־דֳּמִי־לָךְ אַל־תֶּחֱרַשׁ וְאַל־תִּשְׁקֹט אֵֽל׃ |
2 For lo! thine enemies, are tumultuous, And, they who hate thee, have lifted up the head;
| כִּֽי־הִנֵּה אוֹיְבֶיךָ יֶהֱמָיוּן וּמְשַׂנְאֶיךָ נָשְׂאוּ רֹֽאשׁ׃ |
3 Against thy people, they craftily devise a secret plot, And conspire against thy treasured ones.
| עַֽל־עַמְּךָ יַעֲרִימוּ סוֹד וְיִתְיָעֲצוּ עַל־צְפוּנֶֽיךָ׃ |
4 They have said—Come, and let us wipe them out from being a nation, That the name of Israel may be remembered no more.
| אָמְרוּ לְכוּ וְנַכְחִידֵם מִגּוֹי וְלֹֽא־יִזָּכֵר שֵֽׁם־יִשְׂרָאֵל עֽוֹד׃ |
5 For they have taken counsel with one heart, Against thee—a covenant, would they solemnize—
| כִּי נוֹעֲצוּ לֵב יַחְדָּו עָלֶיךָ בְּרִית יִכְרֹֽתוּ׃ |
6 The tents of Edom, and the Ishmaelites, of Moab and the Hagarenes;
| אָהֳלֵי אֱדוֹם וְיִשְׁמְעֵאלִים מוֹאָב וְהַגְרֽ͏ִים׃ |
7 Gebal and Ammon, and Amalek, The Philistines, with the dwellers in Tyre;
| גְּבָל וְעַמּוֹן וַעֲמָלֵק פְּלֶשֶׁת עִם־יֹשְׁבֵי צֽוֹר׃ |
8 Even Assyria hath joined herself with them, They have become an arm to the sons of Lot. (Selah)
| גַּם־אַשּׁוּר נִלְוָה עִמָּם הָיוּ זְרוֹעַ לִבְנֵי־לוֹט סֶֽלָה׃ |
9 Make them like Midian, like Sisera, like Jabin, by the torrent of Kishon;
| עֲשֵֽׂה־לָהֶם כְּמִדְיָן כְּֽסִֽיסְרָא כְיָבִין בְּנַחַל קִישֽׁוֹן׃ |
10 They perished at En-dor, They become manure for the soil!
| נִשְׁמְדוּ בְֽעֵין־דֹּאר הָיוּ דֹמֶן לָאֲדָמָֽה׃ |
11 Make them—their nobles—like Oreb and like Zeeb, And, like Zebah and like Zalmunna, all their princes:
| שִׁיתֵמוֹ נְדִיבֵמוֹ כְּעֹרֵב וְכִזְאֵב וּֽכְזֶבַח וּכְצַלְמֻנָּע כָּל־נְסִיכֵֽמוֹ׃ |
12 Who said—Let us take a possession for ourselves, The pastures of God!
| אֲשֶׁר אָמְרוּ נִירֲשָׁה לָּנוּ אֵת נְאוֹת אֱלֹהִֽים׃ |
13 O my God, make them, As whirling [dust], As chaff before a wind;
| אֱֽלֹהַי שִׁיתֵמוֹ כַגַּלְגַּל כְּקַשׁ לִפְנֵי־רֽוּחַ׃ |
14 As a fire burneth a forest, —And as a flame setteth mountains ablaze,
| כְּאֵשׁ תִּבְעַר־יָעַר וּכְלֶהָבָה תְּלַהֵט הָרִֽים׃ |
15 So, wilt thou pursue them with thy tempest, —And, with thy storm-wind, wilt terrify them:
| כֵּן תִּרְדְּפֵם בְּסַעֲרֶךָ וּבְסוּפָתְךָ תְבַהֲלֵֽם׃ |
16 Fill thou their faces with dishonour, That men may seek thy Name, O Yahweh;
| מַלֵּא פְנֵיהֶם קָלוֹן וִֽיבַקְשׁוּ שִׁמְךָ יְהוָֽה׃ |
17 Let them turn pale, and be terrified to futurity, Yea let them blush, and perish:
| יֵבֹשׁוּ וְיִבָּהֲלוּ עֲדֵי־עַד וְֽיַחְפְּרוּ וְיֹאבֵֽדוּ׃ |
18 That men may know that, thou, Whose Name alone is Yahweh, Art Most High over all the earth.
| וְֽיֵדְעוּ כִּֽי־אַתָּה שִׁמְךָ יְהוָה לְבַדֶּךָ עֶלְיוֹן עַל־כָּל־הָאָֽרֶץ׃ |
