ગીતશાસ્ત્ર 83
A song. A Psalm of Asaph. O God, be not silent; be not speechless; be not still, O God.
2 ૨ જુઓ, તમારા શત્રુઓ હુલ્લડ મચાવે છે અને જેઓ તમને ધિક્કારે છે તેમણે તમારી સામે માથું ઊંચું કર્યું છે.
See how Your enemies rage, how Your foes have reared their heads.
3 ૩ તેઓ તમારા લોકો વિરુદ્ધ કપટભરી યોજનાઓ કરે છે અને તમારા લોક જેઓ તમને મૂલ્યવાન છે, તેઓની વિરુદ્ધ પ્રપંચ રચે છે.
With cunning they scheme against Your people and conspire against those You cherish,
4 ૪ તેઓએ કહ્યું છે, “ચાલો, પ્રજા તરીકેના તેમના અસ્તિત્વનો આપણે સંપૂર્ણ નાશ કરીએ. જેથી ઇઝરાયલના નામનું સ્મરણ હવે પછી કદી રહે નહિ.”
saying, “Come, let us erase them as a nation; may the name of Israel be remembered no more.”
For with one mind they plot together, they form an alliance against You—
the tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites, of Moab and the Hagrites,
of Gebal, Ammon, and Amalek, of Philistia with the people of Tyre.
Even Assyria has joined them, lending strength to the sons of Lot.
Do to them as You did to Midian, as to Sisera and Jabin at the River Kishon,
who perished at Endor and became like dung on the ground.
Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb, and all their princes like Zebah and Zalmunna,
who said, “Let us possess for ourselves the pastures of God.”
Make them like tumbleweed, O my God, like chaff before the wind.
As fire consumes a forest, as a flame sets the mountains ablaze,
so pursue them with Your tempest, and terrify them with Your storm.
Cover their faces with shame, that they may seek Your name, O LORD.
May they be ever ashamed and terrified; may they perish in disgrace.
May they know that You alone, whose name is the LORD, are Most High over all the earth.
