< תהילים 83 >

שִׁיר מִזְמוֹר לְאָסָֽף׃ אֱלֹהִים אַל־דֳּמִי־לָךְ אַל־תֶּחֱרַשׁ וְאַל־תִּשְׁקֹט אֵֽל׃ 1
A song. A Psalm by Asaph. God, don’t keep silent. Don’t keep silent, and don’t be still, God.
כִּֽי־הִנֵּה אוֹיְבֶיךָ יֶהֱמָיוּן וּמְשַׂנְאֶיךָ נָשְׂאוּ רֹֽאשׁ׃ 2
For, behold, your enemies are stirred up. Those who hate you have lifted up their heads.
עַֽל־עַמְּךָ יַעֲרִימוּ סוֹד וְיִתְיָעֲצוּ עַל־צְפוּנֶֽיךָ׃ 3
They conspire with cunning against your people. They plot against your cherished ones.
אָמְרוּ לְכוּ וְנַכְחִידֵם מִגּוֹי וְלֹֽא־יִזָּכֵר שֵֽׁם־יִשְׂרָאֵל עֽוֹד׃ 4
“Come,” they say, “let’s destroy them as a nation, that the name of Israel may be remembered no more.”
כִּי נוֹעֲצוּ לֵב יַחְדָּו עָלֶיךָ בְּרִית יִכְרֹֽתוּ׃ 5
For they have conspired together with one mind. They form an alliance against you.
אׇהֳלֵי אֱדוֹם וְיִשְׁמְעֵאלִים מוֹאָב וְהַגְרִֽים׃ 6
The tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites; Moab, and the Hagrites;
גְּבָל וְעַמּוֹן וַעֲמָלֵק פְּלֶשֶׁת עִם־יֹשְׁבֵי צֽוֹר׃ 7
Gebal, Ammon, and Amalek; Philistia with the inhabitants of Tyre;
גַּם־אַשּׁוּר נִלְוָה עִמָּם הָיֽוּ זְרוֹעַ לִבְנֵי־לוֹט סֶֽלָה׃ 8
Assyria also is joined with them. They have helped the children of Lot. (Selah)
עֲשֵֽׂה־לָהֶם כְּמִדְיָן כְּֽסִיסְרָא כְיָבִין בְּנַחַל קִישֽׁוֹן׃ 9
Do to them as you did to Midian, as to Sisera, as to Jabin, at the river Kishon;
נִשְׁמְדוּ בְֽעֵין־דֹּאר הָיוּ דֹמֶן לָאֲדָמָֽה׃ 10
who perished at Endor, who became as dung for the earth.
שִׁיתֵמוֹ נְדִיבֵימוֹ כְּעֹרֵב וְכִזְאֵב וּֽכְזֶבַח וּכְצַלְמֻנָּע כׇּל־נְסִיכֵֽימוֹ׃ 11
Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb, yes, all their princes like Zebah and Zalmunna,
אֲשֶׁר אָמְרוּ נִירְשָׁה לָּנוּ אֵת נְאוֹת אֱלֹהִֽים׃ 12
who said, “Let’s take possession of God’s pasture lands.”
אֱֽלֹהַי שִׁיתֵמוֹ כַגַּלְגַּל כְּקַשׁ לִפְנֵי־רֽוּחַ׃ 13
My God, make them like tumbleweed, like chaff before the wind.
כְּאֵשׁ תִּבְעַר־יָעַר וּכְלֶהָבָה תְּלַהֵט הָרִֽים׃ 14
As the fire that burns the forest, as the flame that sets the mountains on fire,
כֵּן תִּרְדְּפֵם בְּסַעֲרֶךָ וּבְסוּפָתְךָ תְבַהֲלֵֽם׃ 15
so pursue them with your tempest, and terrify them with your storm.
מַלֵּא פְנֵיהֶם קָלוֹן וִיבַקְשׁוּ שִׁמְךָ יְהֹוָֽה׃ 16
Fill their faces with confusion, that they may seek your name, Yahweh.
יֵבֹשׁוּ וְיִבָּהֲלוּ עֲדֵי־עַד וְֽיַחְפְּרוּ וְיֹאבֵֽדוּ׃ 17
Let them be disappointed and dismayed forever. Yes, let them be confounded and perish;
וְֽיֵדְעוּ כִּֽי־אַתָּה שִׁמְךָ יְהֹוָה לְבַדֶּךָ עֶלְיוֹן עַל־כׇּל־הָאָֽרֶץ׃ 18
that they may know that you alone, whose name is Yahweh, are the Most High over all the earth.
