Chapter 83
1שִׁיר מִזְמוֹר לְאָסָֽףA song, a psalm of Asaph.
2אֱלֹהִים אַל־דֳּמִי־לָךְ אַל־תֶּחֱרַשׁ וְאַל־תִּשְׁקֹט אֵֽלO God, do not be silent; do not hold aloof; do not be quiet, O God!
3כִּֽי־הִנֵּה אוֹיְבֶיךָ יֶהֱמָיוּן וּמְשַׂנְאֶיךָ נָשְׂאוּ רֹֽאשׁFor Your enemies rage, Your foes assert themselves.
4עַֽל־עַמְּךָ יַעֲרִימוּ סוֹד וְיִתְיָעֲצוּ עַל־צְפוּנֶֽיךָThey plot craftily against Your people, take counsel against Your treasured ones.
5אָמְרוּ לְכוּ וְנַכְחִידֵם מִגּוֹי וְלֹֽא־יִזָּכֵר שֵֽׁם־יִשְׂרָאֵל עֽוֹדThey say, “Let us wipe them out as a nation; Israel’s name will be mentioned no more.”
6כִּי נוֹעֲצוּ לֵב יַחְדָּו עָלֶיךָ בְּרִית יִכְרֹֽתוּUnanimous in their counsel they have made an alliance against You—
7אׇהֳלֵי אֱדוֹם וְיִשְׁמְעֵאלִים מוֹאָב וְהַגְרִֽיםthe clans of Edom and the Ishmaelites, Moab and the Hagrites,
8גְּבָל וְעַמּוֹן וַעֲמָלֵק פְּלֶשֶׁת עִם־יֹשְׁבֵי צֽוֹרGebal, Ammon, and Amalek, Philistia with the inhabitants of Tyre;
9גַּם־אַשּׁוּר נִלְוָה עִמָּם הָיֽוּ־זְרוֹעַ לִבְנֵי־לוֹט סֶֽלָהAssyria too joins forces with them; they give support to the descendants of Lot. Selah.
10עֲשֵֽׂה־לָהֶם כְּמִדְיָן כְּֽסִיסְרָא כְיָבִין בְּנַחַל קִישֽׁוֹןDeal with them as You did with Midian, with Sisera, with Jabin, at the brook Kishon—
11נִשְׁמְדוּ בְֽעֵין־דֹּאר הָיוּ דֹמֶן לָאֲדָמָֽהwho were destroyed at En-dor, who became dung for the field.
12שִׁיתֵמוֹ נְדִיבֵימוֹ כְּעֹרֵב וְכִזְאֵב וּֽכְזֶבַח וּכְצַלְמֻנָּע כׇּל־נְסִיכֵֽימוֹTreat their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb, all their princes like Zebah and Zalmunna,
13אֲשֶׁר אָמְרוּ נִירְשָׁה לָּנוּ אֵת נְאוֹת אֱלֹהִֽיםwho said, “Let us take the meadows of God as our possession.”
14אֱֽלֹהַי שִׁיתֵמוֹ כַגַּלְגַּל כְּקַשׁ לִפְנֵי־רֽוּחַO my God, make them like thistledown, like stubble driven by the wind.
15כְּאֵשׁ תִּבְעַר־יָעַר וּכְלֶהָבָה תְּלַהֵט הָרִֽיםAs a fire burns a forest, as flames scorch the hills,
16כֵּן תִּרְדְּפֵם בְּסַעֲרֶךָ וּבְסוּפָתְךָ תְבַהֲלֵֽםpursue them with Your tempest, terrify them with Your storm.
17מַלֵּא פְנֵיהֶם קָלוֹן וִיבַקְשׁוּ שִׁמְךָ יְהֹוָֽהCover their faces with shame so that they seek Your name, O ETERNAL One.
18יֵבֹשׁוּ וְיִבָּהֲלוּ עֲדֵי־עַד וְֽיַחְפְּרוּ וְיֹאבֵֽדוּMay they be frustrated and terrified, disgraced and doomed forever.
19וְֽיֵדְעוּ כִּי־אַתָּה שִׁמְךָ יְהֹוָה לְבַדֶּךָ עֶלְיוֹן עַל־כׇּל־הָאָֽרֶץMay they know that Your name, Yours alone, is GOD, supreme over all the earth.
