תְהִלִּים 83

1 שִׁ֖יר מִזְמֹ֣ור לְאָסָֽף׃ אֱלֹהִ֥ים אַל־דֳּמִי־לָ֑ךְ אַל־תֶּחֱרַ֖שׁ וְאַל־תִּשְׁקֹ֣ט אֵֽל׃

A Song; a Psalm of Asaph. O God, keep not silence; hold not thy peace, and be not still, O God:

2 כִּֽי־הִנֵּ֣ה אֹ֭ויְבֶיךָ יֶהֱמָי֑וּן וּ֝מְשַׂנְאֶ֗יךָ נָ֣שְׂאוּ רֹֽאשׁ׃

For behold, thine enemies make a tumult; and they that hate thee lift up the head.

3 עַֽל־עַ֭מְּךָ יַעֲרִ֣ימוּ סֹ֑וד וְ֝יִתְיָעֲצ֗וּ עַל־צְפוּנֶֽיךָ׃

They take crafty counsel against thy people, and consult against thy hidden ones:

4 אָמְר֗וּ לְ֭כוּ וְנַכְחִידֵ֣ם מִגֹּ֑וי וְלֹֽא־יִזָּכֵ֖ר שֵֽׁם־יִשְׂרָאֵ֣ל עֹֽוד׃

They say, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation, and let the name of Israel be mentioned no more.

5 כִּ֤י נֹועֲצ֣וּ לֵ֣ב יַחְדָּ֑ו עָ֝לֶ֗יךָ בְּרִ֣ית יִכְרֹֽתוּ׃

For they have consulted together with one heart: they have made an alliance together against thee.

6 אָהֳלֵ֣י אֱ֭דֹום וְיִשְׁמְעֵאלִ֗ים מֹואָ֥ב וְהַגְרֽ͏ִים׃

The tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites, Moab and the Hagarites;

7 גְּבָ֣ל וְ֭עַמֹּון וַעֲמָלֵ֑ק פְּ֝לֶ֗שֶׁת עִם־יֹ֥שְׁבֵי צֹֽור׃

Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek; Philistia, with the inhabitants of Tyre;

8 גַּם־אַ֭שּׁוּר נִלְוָ֣ה עִמָּ֑ם הָ֤י֥וּ זְרֹ֖ועַ לִבְנֵי־לֹ֣וט סֶֽלָה׃

Asshur also is joined with them: they are an arm to the sons of Lot. (Selah)

9 עֲשֵֽׂה־לָהֶ֥ם כְּמִדְיָ֑ן כְּֽסִֽיסְרָ֥א כְ֝יָבִ֗ין בְּנַ֣חַל קִישֹֽׁון׃

Do unto them as to Midian; as to Sisera, as to Jabin, at the torrent of Kishon:

10 נִשְׁמְד֥וּ בְֽעֵין־דֹּ֑אר הָ֥יוּ דֹּ֝֗מֶן לָאֲדָמָֽה׃

Who were destroyed at Endor; they became as dung for the ground.

11 שִׁיתֵ֣מֹו נְ֭דִיבֵמֹו כְּעֹרֵ֣ב וְכִזְאֵ֑ב וּֽכְזֶ֥בַח וּ֝כְצַלְמֻנָּ֗ע כָּל־נְסִיכֵֽמֹו׃

Make their nobles as Oreb and as Zeeb; and all their chiefs as Zebah and as Zalmunna.

12 אֲשֶׁ֣ר אָ֭מְרוּ נִ֣ירֲשָׁה לָּ֑נוּ אֵ֝֗ת נְאֹ֣ות אֱלֹהִֽים׃

For they have said, Let us take to ourselves God's dwelling-places in possession.

13 אֱ‍ֽלֹהַ֗י שִׁיתֵ֥מֹו כַגַּלְגַּ֑ל כְּ֝קַ֗שׁ לִפְנֵי־רֽוּחַ׃

O my God, make them like a whirling thing, like stubble before the wind.

14 כְּאֵ֥שׁ תִּבְעַר־יָ֑עַר וּ֝כְלֶהָבָ֗ה תְּלַהֵ֥ט הָרִֽים׃

As fire burneth a forest, and as the flame setteth the mountains on fire,

15 כֵּ֭ן תִּרְדְּפֵ֣ם בְּסַעֲרֶ֑ךָ וּבְסוּפָתְךָ֥ תְבַהֲלֵֽם׃

So pursue them with thy tempest, and terrify them with thy whirlwind.

16 מַלֵּ֣א פְנֵיהֶ֣ם קָלֹ֑ון וִֽיבַקְשׁ֖וּ שִׁמְךָ֣ יְהוָֽה׃

Fill their faces with shame, that they may seek thy name, O Jehovah.

17 יֵבֹ֖שׁוּ וְיִבָּהֲל֥וּ עֲדֵי־עַ֗ד וְֽיַחְפְּר֥וּ וְיֹאבֵֽדוּ׃

Let them be put to shame and be dismayed for ever, and let them be confounded and perish:

18 וֽ͏ְיֵדְע֗וּ כִּֽי־אַתָּ֬ה שִׁמְךָ֣ יְהוָ֣ה לְבַדֶּ֑ךָ עֶ֝לְיֹ֗ון עַל־כָּל־הָאָֽרֶץ׃

That they may know that thou alone, whose name is Jehovah, art the Most High over all the earth.
