Psalms 83

1 A song a psalm of Asaph. O God [let] not silence [belong] to you may not you be silent and may not you be inactive O God.

“A song or psalm of Assaph.” O God, take no rest for thyself: be not silent and keep not still, O God!

2 For here! enemies your they are in an uproar! and [those who] hate you they have lifted a head.

For, lo, thy enemies make a tumult, and they that hate thee have lifted up their head.

3 On people your they make crafty counsel so they may consult together on treasured [ones] your.

Against thy people they take crafty secret device, and they consult against those whom thou protectest.

4 They have said come and let us annihilate them from a nation and not it will be remembered [the] name of Israel again.

They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation; and the name of Israel shall be remembered no more.

5 For they have consulted heart together on you a covenant they are making.

For they have consulted cordially together; against thee they make a covenant:

6 [the] tents of Edom and [the] Ishmaelites Moab and [the] Hagrites.

The tents of Edom, and the Ishmaelites: Moab, and the Hagarenes;

7 Gebal and Ammon and Amalek Philistia with [the] inhabitants of Tyre.

Gebal, and 'Ammon, and 'Amalek; the Philistines with the inhabitants of Tyre;

8 Also Assyria it has joined itself with them they have become an arm for [the] children of Lot (Selah)

Also Asshur is joined with them; they have become an arm unto the children of Lot. (Selah)

9 Do to them like Midian like Sisera like Jabin at [the] wadi of Kishon.

Do unto them as [unto] Midian; as to Sissera, as to Jabin, at the brook Kishon:

10 They were destroyed at En-dor they became dung for the ground.

Who were annihilated at 'En-dor; they became as dung for the ground.

11 Make them noble [people] their like Oreb and like Zeeb and like Zebah and like Zalmunna all princes their.

Render them, their nobles, like 'Oreb, and like Zeeb; yea, like Zebach and like Zalmunna' all their princes;

12 Who they said let us take possession of for ourselves [the] pastures of God.

Who said, Let us conquer for ourselves the dwellings of God,

13 O God my make them like whirling dust like chaff before a wind.

O my God, render them like the thistle-down, like stubble before the wind.

14 Like a fire [which] it burns a forest and like a flame [which] it sets ablaze mountains.

As the fire burneth up a forest, and as the flame setteth the mountains on fire:

15 So you will pursue them with storm your and with storm-wind your you will terrify them.

So pursue them with thy storm, and with thy whirlwind do thou terrify them.

16 Fill faces their shame so they may seek name your O Yahweh.

Fill their faces with shame, that they may seek thy name, O Lord!

17 May they be ashamed and they may be dismayed until perpetuity and may they be abashed and they may perish.

Let them be made ashamed and terrified for ever and aye; yea, let them be put to the blush and perish:

18 And they may know that you name your [is] Yahweh to alone you [the] Most High over all the earth.

That they may know that thou, whose name is the Eternal, art by thyself alone, the Most High over all the earth.
