< תהילים 83 >

שִׁיר מִזְמוֹר לְאָסָֽף׃ אֱלֹהִים אַל־דֳּמִי־לָךְ אַל־תֶּחֱרַשׁ וְאַל־תִּשְׁקֹט אֵֽל׃ 1
A Song, a Psalm of Asaph. O God, keep not Thou silence; hold not Thy peace, and be not still, O God.
כִּֽי־הִנֵּה אוֹיְבֶיךָ יֶהֱמָיוּן וּמְשַׂנְאֶיךָ נָשְׂאוּ רֹֽאשׁ׃ 2
For, lo, Thine enemies are in an uproar; and they that hate Thee have lifted up the head.
עַֽל־עַמְּךָ יַעֲרִימוּ סוֹד וְיִתְיָעֲצוּ עַל־צְפוּנֶֽיךָ׃ 3
They hold crafty converse against Thy people, and take counsel against Thy treasured ones.
אָמְרוּ לְכוּ וְנַכְחִידֵם מִגּוֹי וְלֹֽא־יִזָּכֵר שֵֽׁם־יִשְׂרָאֵל עֽוֹד׃ 4
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.'
כִּי נוֹעֲצוּ לֵב יַחְדָּו עָלֶיךָ בְּרִית יִכְרֹֽתוּ׃ 5
For they have consulted together with one consent; against Thee do they make a covenant;
אָהֳלֵי אֱדוֹם וְיִשְׁמְעֵאלִים מוֹאָב וְהַגְרֽ͏ִים׃ 6
The tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites; Moab, and the Hagrites;
גְּבָל וְעַמּוֹן וַעֲמָלֵק פְּלֶשֶׁת עִם־יֹשְׁבֵי צֽוֹר׃ 7
Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek; Philistia with the inhabitants of Tyre;
גַּם־אַשּׁוּר נִלְוָה עִמָּם הָיוּ זְרוֹעַ לִבְנֵי־לוֹט סֶֽלָה׃ 8
Assyria also is joined with them; they have been an arm to the children of Lot. (Selah)
עֲשֵֽׂה־לָהֶם כְּמִדְיָן כְּֽסִֽיסְרָא כְיָבִין בְּנַחַל קִישֽׁוֹן׃ 9
Do Thou unto them as unto Midian; as to Sisera, as to Jabin, at the brook Kishon;
נִשְׁמְדוּ בְֽעֵין־דֹּאר הָיוּ דֹמֶן לָאֲדָמָֽה׃ 10
Who were destroyed at En-dor; they became as dung for the earth.
שִׁיתֵמוֹ נְדִיבֵמוֹ כְּעֹרֵב וְכִזְאֵב וּֽכְזֶבַח וּכְצַלְמֻנָּע כָּל־נְסִיכֵֽמוֹ׃ 11
Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb, and like Zebah and Zalmunna all their princes;
אֲשֶׁר אָמְרוּ נִירֲשָׁה לָּנוּ אֵת נְאוֹת אֱלֹהִֽים׃ 12
Who said: 'Let us take to ourselves in possession the habitations of God.'
אֱ‍ֽלֹהַי שִׁיתֵמוֹ כַגַּלְגַּל כְּקַשׁ לִפְנֵי־רֽוּחַ׃ 13
O my God, make them like the whirling dust; as stubble before the wind.
כְּאֵשׁ תִּבְעַר־יָעַר וּכְלֶהָבָה תְּלַהֵט הָרִֽים׃ 14
As the fire that burneth the forest, and as the flame that setteth the mountains ablaze;
כֵּן תִּרְדְּפֵם בְּסַעֲרֶךָ וּבְסוּפָתְךָ תְבַהֲלֵֽם׃ 15
So pursue them with Thy tempest, and affright them with Thy storm.
מַלֵּא פְנֵיהֶם קָלוֹן וִֽיבַקְשׁוּ שִׁמְךָ יְהוָֽה׃ 16
Fill their faces with shame; that they may seek Thy name, O LORD.
יֵבֹשׁוּ וְיִבָּהֲלוּ עֲדֵי־עַד וְֽיַחְפְּרוּ וְיֹאבֵֽדוּ׃ 17
Let them be ashamed and affrighted for ever; yea, let them be abashed and perish;
וְֽיֵדְעוּ כִּֽי־אַתָּה שִׁמְךָ יְהוָה לְבַדֶּךָ עֶלְיוֹן עַל־כָּל־הָאָֽרֶץ׃ 18
That they may know that it is Thou alone whose name is the LORD, the Most High over all the earth.
