< תהילים 83 >

שִׁיר מִזְמוֹר לְאָסָֽף׃ אֱלֹהִים אַל־דֳּמִי־לָךְ אַל־תֶּחֱרַשׁ וְאַל־תִּשְׁקֹט אֵֽל׃ 1
A Song, a Melody of Asaph. O God, Do not keep quiet, Do not hold thy peace, Neither be thou still, O GOD!
כִּֽי־הִנֵּה אוֹיְבֶיךָ יֶהֱמָיוּן וּמְשַׂנְאֶיךָ נָשְׂאוּ רֹֽאשׁ׃ 2
For lo! thine enemies, are tumultuous, And, they who hate thee, have lifted up the head;
עַֽל־עַמְּךָ יַעֲרִימוּ סוֹד וְיִתְיָעֲצוּ עַל־צְפוּנֶֽיךָ׃ 3
Against thy people, they craftily devise a secret plot, And conspire against thy treasured ones.
אָמְרוּ לְכוּ וְנַכְחִידֵם מִגּוֹי וְלֹֽא־יִזָּכֵר שֵֽׁם־יִשְׂרָאֵל עֽוֹד׃ 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.
כִּי נוֹעֲצוּ לֵב יַחְדָּו עָלֶיךָ בְּרִית יִכְרֹֽתוּ׃ 5
For they have taken counsel with one heart, Against thee—a covenant, would they solemnize—
אׇהֳלֵי אֱדוֹם וְיִשְׁמְעֵאלִים מוֹאָב וְהַגְרִֽים׃ 6
The tents of Edom, and the Ishmaelites, of Moab and the Hagarenes;
גְּבָל וְעַמּוֹן וַעֲמָלֵק פְּלֶשֶׁת עִם־יֹשְׁבֵי צֽוֹר׃ 7
Gebal and Ammon, and Amalek, The Philistines, with the dwellers in Tyre;
גַּם־אַשּׁוּר נִלְוָה עִמָּם הָיֽוּ זְרוֹעַ לִבְנֵי־לוֹט סֶֽלָה׃ 8
Even Assyria hath joined herself with them, They have become an arm to the sons of Lot. (Selah)
עֲשֵֽׂה־לָהֶם כְּמִדְיָן כְּֽסִיסְרָא כְיָבִין בְּנַחַל קִישֽׁוֹן׃ 9
Make them like Midian, like Sisera, like Jabin, by the torrent of Kishon;
נִשְׁמְדוּ בְֽעֵין־דֹּאר הָיוּ דֹמֶן לָאֲדָמָֽה׃ 10
They perished at En-dor, They become manure for the soil!
שִׁיתֵמוֹ נְדִיבֵימוֹ כְּעֹרֵב וְכִזְאֵב וּֽכְזֶבַח וּכְצַלְמֻנָּע כׇּל־נְסִיכֵֽימוֹ׃ 11
Make them—their nobles—like Oreb and like Zeeb, And, like Zebah and like Zalmunna, all their princes:
אֲשֶׁר אָמְרוּ נִירְשָׁה לָּנוּ אֵת נְאוֹת אֱלֹהִֽים׃ 12
Who said—Let us take a possession for ourselves, The pastures of God!
אֱֽלֹהַי שִׁיתֵמוֹ כַגַּלְגַּל כְּקַשׁ לִפְנֵי־רֽוּחַ׃ 13
O my God, make them, As whirling [dust], As chaff before a wind;
כְּאֵשׁ תִּבְעַר־יָעַר וּכְלֶהָבָה תְּלַהֵט הָרִֽים׃ 14
As a fire burneth a forest, —And as a flame setteth mountains ablaze,
כֵּן תִּרְדְּפֵם בְּסַעֲרֶךָ וּבְסוּפָתְךָ תְבַהֲלֵֽם׃ 15
So, wilt thou pursue them with thy tempest, —And, with thy storm-wind, wilt terrify them:
מַלֵּא פְנֵיהֶם קָלוֹן וִיבַקְשׁוּ שִׁמְךָ יְהֹוָֽה׃ 16
Fill thou their faces with dishonour, That men may seek thy Name, O Yahweh;
יֵבֹשׁוּ וְיִבָּהֲלוּ עֲדֵי־עַד וְֽיַחְפְּרוּ וְיֹאבֵֽדוּ׃ 17
Let them turn pale, and be terrified to futurity, Yea let them blush, and perish:
וְֽיֵדְעוּ כִּֽי־אַתָּה שִׁמְךָ יְהֹוָה לְבַדֶּךָ עֶלְיוֹן עַל־כׇּל־הָאָֽרֶץ׃ 18
That men may know that, thou, Whose Name alone is Yahweh, Art Most High over all the earth.
