< Psalms 83 >

1 God, do not continue to be silent! Do not be quiet and say nothing,
שִׁיר מִזְמוֹר לְאָסָֽף׃ אֱלֹהִים אַל־דֳּמִי־לָךְ אַל־תֶּחֱרַשׁ וְאַל־תִּשְׁקֹט אֵֽל׃
2 because your enemies are rioting against you; those who hate you are rebelling against you!
כִּֽי־הִנֵּה אוֹיְבֶיךָ יֶהֱמָיוּן וּמְשַׂנְאֶיךָ נָשְׂאוּ רֹֽאשׁ׃
3 They are secretly planning to do things to harm [us], your people; they are (conspiring together against/planning how to defeat) the people whom you protect.
עַֽל־עַמְּךָ יַעֲרִימוּ סוֹד וְיִתְיָעֲצוּ עַל־צְפוּנֶֽיךָ׃
4 They say, “Come, we must destroy their nation, with the result that no one will remember that Israel ever existed!”
אָמְרוּ לְכוּ וְנַכְחִידֵם מִגּוֹי וְלֹֽא־יִזָּכֵר שֵֽׁם־יִשְׂרָאֵל עֽוֹד׃
5 They have agreed on [what they want to do to destroy Israel], and they have formed an alliance against you.
כִּי נוֹעֲצוּ לֵב יַחְדָּו עָלֶיךָ בְּרִית יִכְרֹֽתוּ׃
6 [The people who have done that are] the people of Edom [region], the descendants of Ishmael [who live on the east side of the Jordan River], the Moab [people-group], the descendants of Hagar [who also live on the east side of the Jordan River],
אׇהֳלֵי אֱדוֹם וְיִשְׁמְעֵאלִים מוֹאָב וְהַגְרִֽים׃
7 Gebal [people-group], the Ammon [people-group], the Amalek [people-group], the Philistia [people-group], and the people of Tyre [city].
גְּבָל וְעַמּוֹן וַעֲמָלֵק פְּלֶשֶׁת עִם־יֹשְׁבֵי צֽוֹר׃
8 [The people of] have joined them; they are strong allies of the [Moab and Ammon people-groups, who are] descendants of [Abraham’s nephew] Lot.
גַּם־אַשּׁוּר נִלְוָה עִמָּם הָיֽוּ זְרוֹעַ לִבְנֵי־לוֹט סֶֽלָה׃
9 [God], do to those people things like you did to the Midian [people-group], like [you did] to Sisera and Jabin at Kishon River.
עֲשֵֽׂה־לָהֶם כְּמִדְיָן כְּֽסִיסְרָא כְיָבִין בְּנַחַל קִישֽׁוֹן׃
10 You destroyed them at Endor [town], and their corpses [lay on] the ground and decayed.
נִשְׁמְדוּ בְֽעֵין־דֹּאר הָיוּ דֹמֶן לָאֲדָמָֽה׃
11 Do to them things like you did to [Kings] Oreb and Zeeb; defeat their leaders like you defeated Zebah and Zalmunna,
שִׁיתֵמוֹ נְדִיבֵימוֹ כְּעֹרֵב וְכִזְאֵב וּֽכְזֶבַח וּכְצַלְמֻנָּע כׇּל־נְסִיכֵֽימוֹ׃
12 who said, “We will take for ourselves the land that [the Israelis say] belongs to God!”
אֲשֶׁר אָמְרוּ נִירְשָׁה לָּנוּ אֵת נְאוֹת אֱלֹהִֽים׃
13 My God, cause them [to disappear quickly] like whirling dust, like chaff that the wind blows away!
אֱֽלֹהַי שִׁיתֵמוֹ כַגַּלְגַּל כְּקַשׁ לִפְנֵי־רֽוּחַ׃
14 Like a fire completely burns a forest and like flames burn in the mountains,
כְּאֵשׁ תִּבְעַר־יָעַר וּכְלֶהָבָה תְּלַהֵט הָרִֽים׃
15 expel them by sending storms; cause them to be terrified by your big storms/hurricanes!
כֵּן תִּרְדְּפֵם בְּסַעֲרֶךָ וּבְסוּפָתְךָ תְבַהֲלֵֽם׃
16 Cause them [SYN] to be very ashamed in order that they will admit that you are very powerful.
מַלֵּא פְנֵיהֶם קָלוֹן וִיבַקְשׁוּ שִׁמְךָ יְהֹוָֽה׃
17 Cause them to be forever disgraced [because of being defeated], and cause them to die while they are still disgraced.
יֵבֹשׁוּ וְיִבָּהֲלוּ עֲדֵי־עַד וְֽיַחְפְּרוּ וְיֹאבֵֽדוּ׃
18 Cause them to know that you, whose name is Yahweh, are the supreme ruler over everything on the earth.
וְֽיֵדְעוּ כִּֽי־אַתָּה שִׁמְךָ יְהֹוָה לְבַדֶּךָ עֶלְיוֹן עַל־כׇּל־הָאָֽרֶץ׃
