< תהילים 83 >

שִׁיר מִזְמוֹר לְאָסָֽף׃ אֱלֹהִים אַל־דֳּמִי־לָךְ אַל־תֶּחֱרַשׁ וְאַל־תִּשְׁקֹט אֵֽל׃ 1
[A song. A Psalm by Asaph.] God, do not be silent. Do not be deaf, and do not be inactive, God.
כִּֽי־הִנֵּה אוֹיְבֶיךָ יֶהֱמָיוּן וּמְשַׂנְאֶיךָ נָשְׂאוּ רֹֽאשׁ׃ 2
For, look, your enemies make an uproar. Those who hate you are hostile.
עַֽל־עַמְּךָ יַעֲרִימוּ סוֹד וְיִתְיָעֲצוּ עַל־צְפוּנֶֽיךָ׃ 3
They devise crafty plans against your people, and conspire together against your treasured ones.
אָמְרוּ לְכוּ וְנַכְחִידֵם מִגּוֹי וְלֹֽא־יִזָּכֵר שֵֽׁם־יִשְׂרָאֵל עֽוֹד׃ 4
They say, "Come, and let us annihilate them as a nation; let the name of Israel may be remembered no more."
כִּי נוֹעֲצוּ לֵב יַחְדָּו עָלֶיךָ בְּרִית יִכְרֹֽתוּ׃ 5
For they plot a unified strategy; they make a covenant against you;
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, Ammon, and Amalek, Philistia with the inhabitants of Tyre.
גַּם־אַשּׁוּר נִלְוָה עִמָּם הָיוּ זְרוֹעַ לִבְנֵי־לוֹט סֶֽלָה׃ 8
Assyria too is joined with them; they lend support to the descendants of Lot. (Selah)
עֲשֵֽׂה־לָהֶם כְּמִדְיָן כְּֽסִֽיסְרָא כְיָבִין בְּנַחַל קִישֽׁוֹן׃ 9
Do to them as you did to Midian, as to Sisera, as to Jabin at the Kishon River,
נִשְׁמְדוּ בְֽעֵין־דֹּאר הָיוּ דֹמֶן לָאֲדָמָֽה׃ 10
who were destroyed at Endor, who became manure for the ground.
שִׁיתֵמוֹ נְדִיבֵמוֹ כְּעֹרֵב וְכִזְאֵב וּֽכְזֶבַח וּכְצַלְמֻנָּע כָּל־נְסִיכֵֽמוֹ׃ 11
Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb, all their princes like Zebah and Zalmunna,
אֲשֶׁר אָמְרוּ נִירֲשָׁה לָּנוּ אֵת נְאוֹת אֱלֹהִֽים׃ 12
who said, "Let us take possession for ourselves the pastures of God."
אֱ‍ֽלֹהַי שִׁיתֵמוֹ כַגַּלְגַּל כְּקַשׁ לִפְנֵי־רֽוּחַ׃ 13
My God, make them like tumbleweed; like dead weeds blown by the wind.
כְּאֵשׁ תִּבְעַר־יָעַר וּכְלֶהָבָה תְּלַהֵט הָרִֽים׃ 14
Like a fire that consumes a forest, and like the flames that consume the mountains,
כֵּן תִּרְדְּפֵם בְּסַעֲרֶךָ וּבְסוּפָתְךָ תְבַהֲלֵֽם׃ 15
so pursue them with your gale winds, and terrify them with your storm.
מַלֵּא פְנֵיהֶם קָלוֹן וִֽיבַקְשׁוּ שִׁמְךָ יְהוָֽה׃ 16
Cover their faces with shame, so that they might seek your name, LORD.
יֵבֹשׁוּ וְיִבָּהֲלוּ עֲדֵי־עַד וְֽיַחְפְּרוּ וְיֹאבֵֽדוּ׃ 17
Let them be put to shame and terrified forever; let them perish in disgrace,
וְֽיֵדְעוּ כִּֽי־אַתָּה שִׁמְךָ יְהוָה לְבַדֶּךָ עֶלְיוֹן עַל־כָּל־הָאָֽרֶץ׃ 18
that they will know that you alone, whose name is the LORD, are the Most High over all the earth.
