שִׁ֖יר מִזְמֹ֣ור לְאָסָֽף׃ אֱלֹהִ֥ים אַל־דֳּמִי־לָ֑ךְ אַל־תֶּחֱרַ֖שׁ וְאַל־תִּשְׁקֹ֣ט אֵֽל׃ 1
God, do not continue to be silent! Do not be quiet and say nothing,
כִּֽי־הִנֵּ֣ה אֹ֭ויְבֶיךָ יֶהֱמָי֑וּן וּ֝מְשַׂנְאֶ֗יךָ נָ֣שְׂאוּ רֹֽאשׁ׃ 2
because your enemies are rioting against you; those who hate you are rebelling against you!
עַֽל־עַ֭מְּךָ יַעֲרִ֣ימוּ סֹ֑וד וְ֝יִתְיָעֲצ֗וּ עַל־צְפוּנֶֽיךָ׃ 3
They are secretly planning to do things to harm [us], your people; they are (conspiring together against/planning how to defeat) the people whom you protect.
אָמְר֗וּ לְ֭כוּ וְנַכְחִידֵ֣ם מִגֹּ֑וי וְלֹֽא־יִזָּכֵ֖ר שֵֽׁם־יִשְׂרָאֵ֣ל עֹֽוד׃ 4
They say, “Come, we must destroy their nation, with the result that no one will remember that Israel ever existed!”
כִּ֤י נֹועֲצ֣וּ לֵ֣ב יַחְדָּ֑ו עָ֝לֶ֗יךָ בְּרִ֣ית יִכְרֹֽתוּ׃ 5
They have agreed on [what they want to do to destroy Israel], and they have formed an alliance against you.
אָהֳלֵ֣י אֱ֭דֹום וְיִשְׁמְעֵאלִ֗ים מֹואָ֥ב וְהַגְרֽ͏ִים׃ 6
[The people who have done that are] the people of Edom [region], the descendants of Ishmael [who live on the east side of the Jordan River], the Moab [people-group], the descendants of Hagar [who also live on the east side of the Jordan River],
גְּבָ֣ל וְ֭עַמֹּון וַעֲמָלֵ֑ק פְּ֝לֶ֗שֶׁת עִם־יֹ֥שְׁבֵי צֹֽור׃ 7
Gebal [people-group], the Ammon [people-group], the Amalek [people-group], the Philistia [people-group], and the people of Tyre [city].
גַּם־אַ֭שּׁוּר נִלְוָ֣ה עִמָּ֑ם הָ֤י֥וּ זְרֹ֖ועַ לִבְנֵי־לֹ֣וט סֶֽלָה׃ 8
[The people of] have joined them; they are strong allies of the [Moab and Ammon people-groups, who are] descendants of [Abraham’s nephew] Lot.
עֲשֵֽׂה־לָהֶ֥ם כְּמִדְיָ֑ן כְּֽסִֽיסְרָ֥א כְ֝יָבִ֗ין בְּנַ֣חַל קִישֹֽׁון׃ 9
[God], do to those people things like you did to the Midian [people-group], like [you did] to Sisera and Jabin at Kishon River.
נִשְׁמְד֥וּ בְֽעֵין־דֹּ֑אר הָ֥יוּ דֹּ֝֗מֶן לָאֲדָמָֽה׃ 10
You destroyed them at Endor [town], and their corpses [lay on] the ground and decayed.
שִׁיתֵ֣מֹו נְ֭דִיבֵמֹו כְּעֹרֵ֣ב וְכִזְאֵ֑ב וּֽכְזֶ֥בַח וּ֝כְצַלְמֻנָּ֗ע כָּל־נְסִיכֵֽמֹו׃ 11
Do to them things like you did to [Kings] Oreb and Zeeb; defeat their leaders like you defeated Zebah and Zalmunna,
אֲשֶׁ֣ר אָ֭מְרוּ נִ֣ירֲשָׁה לָּ֑נוּ אֵ֝֗ת נְאֹ֣ות אֱלֹהִֽים׃ 12
who said, “We will take for ourselves the land that [the Israelis say] belongs to God!”
אֱ‍ֽלֹהַ֗י שִׁיתֵ֥מֹו כַגַּלְגַּ֑ל כְּ֝קַ֗שׁ לִפְנֵי־רֽוּחַ׃ 13
My God, cause them [to disappear quickly] like whirling dust, like chaff that the wind blows away!
כְּאֵ֥שׁ תִּבְעַר־יָ֑עַר וּ֝כְלֶהָבָ֗ה תְּלַהֵ֥ט הָרִֽים׃ 14
Like a fire completely burns a forest and like flames burn in the mountains,
כֵּ֭ן תִּרְדְּפֵ֣ם בְּסַעֲרֶ֑ךָ וּבְסוּפָתְךָ֥ תְבַהֲלֵֽם׃ 15
expel them by sending storms; cause them to be terrified by your big storms/hurricanes!
מַלֵּ֣א פְנֵיהֶ֣ם קָלֹ֑ון וִֽיבַקְשׁ֖וּ שִׁמְךָ֣ יְהוָֽה׃ 16
Cause them [SYN] to be very ashamed in order that they will admit that you are very powerful.
יֵבֹ֖שׁוּ וְיִבָּהֲל֥וּ עֲדֵי־עַ֗ד וְֽיַחְפְּר֥וּ וְיֹאבֵֽדוּ׃ 17
Cause them to be forever disgraced [because of being defeated], and cause them to die while they are still disgraced.
וֽ͏ְיֵדְע֗וּ כִּֽי־אַתָּ֬ה שִׁמְךָ֣ יְהוָ֣ה לְבַדֶּ֑ךָ עֶ֝לְיֹ֗ון עַל־כָּל־הָאָֽרֶץ׃ 18
Cause them to know that you, whose name is Yahweh, are the supreme ruler over everything on the earth.
