ગીતશાસ્ત્ર 83
A Song, a Psalm of Asaph. O God, keep not thou silence: hold not thy peace, and 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.
For, lo, thine enemies make a tumult: and they that hate thee have lifted up the head.
3 ૩ તેઓ તમારા લોકો વિરુદ્ધ કપટભરી યોજનાઓ કરે છે અને તમારા લોક જેઓ તમને મૂલ્યવાન છે, તેઓની વિરુદ્ધ પ્રપંચ રચે છે.
They take crafty counsel against thy people, and consult together against thy hidden ones.
4 ૪ તેઓએ કહ્યું છે, “ચાલો, પ્રજા તરીકેના તેમના અસ્તિત્વનો આપણે સંપૂર્ણ નાશ કરીએ. જેથી ઇઝરાયલના નામનું સ્મરણ હવે પછી કદી રહે નહિ.”
They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation; that the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance.
For they have consulted together with one consent; against thee do they make a covenant:
The tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites; Moab, and the Hagarenes;
Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek; Philistia with the inhabitants of Tyre:
Assyria also is joined with them; they have holpen the children of Lot. (Selah)
Do thou unto them as unto Midian; as to Sisera, as to Jabin, at the river Kishon:
Which perished at En-dor; they became as dung for the earth.
Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb; yea, all their princes like Zebah and Zalmunna:
Who said, Let us take to ourselves in possession the habitations of God.
O my God, make them like the whirling dust; as stubble before the wind.
As the fire that burneth the forest, and as the flame that setteth the mountains on fire;
So pursue them with thy tempest, and terrify them with thy storm.
Fill their faces with confusion; that they may seek thy name, O LORD.
Let them be ashamed and dismayed for ever; yea, let them be confounded and perish:
That they may know that thou alone, whose name is JEHOVAH, art the Most High over all the earth.
