Psalms 83

שִׁ֖יר מִזְמ֣וֹר לְאָסָֽף׃

A Song, a Psalm of Asaph.

אֱלֹהִ֥ים אַל־דֳּמִי־לָ֑ךְ אַל־תֶּחֱרַ֖שׁ וְאַל־תִּשְׁקֹ֣ט אֵֽל׃

O God, keep not Thou silence; Hold not Thy peace, and be not still, O God.

כִּֽי־הִנֵּ֣ה א֭וֹיְבֶיךָ יֶהֱמָי֑וּן וּ֝מְשַׂנְאֶ֗יךָ נָ֣שְׂאוּ רֹֽאשׁ׃

For, lo, Thine enemies are in an uproar; And they that hate Thee have lifted up the head.

עַֽל־עַ֭מְּךָ יַעֲרִ֣ימוּ ס֑וֹד וְ֝יִתְיָעֲצ֗וּ עַל־צְפוּנֶֽיךָ׃

They hold crafty converse against Thy people, And take counsel against Thy treasured ones.

אָמְר֗וּ לְ֭כוּ וְנַכְחִידֵ֣ם מִגּ֑וֹי וְלֹֽא־יִזָּכֵ֖ר שֵֽׁם־יִשְׂרָאֵ֣ל עֽוֹד׃

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.'

כִּ֤י נוֹעֲצ֣וּ לֵ֣ב יַחְדָּ֑ו עָ֝לֶ֗יךָ בְּרִ֣ית יִכְרֹֽתוּ׃

For they have consulted together with one consent; Against Thee do they make a covenant;

אׇהֳלֵ֣י אֱ֭דוֹם וְיִשְׁמְעֵאלִ֗ים מוֹאָ֥ב וְהַגְרִֽים׃

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

גְּבָ֣ל וְ֭עַמּוֹן וַעֲמָלֵ֑ק פְּ֝לֶ֗שֶׁת עִם־יֹ֥שְׁבֵי צֽוֹר׃

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

גַּם־אַ֭שּׁוּר נִלְוָ֣ה עִמָּ֑ם הָ֤יֽוּ־זְר֖וֹעַ לִבְנֵי־ל֣וֹט סֶֽלָה׃

Assyria also is joined with them; They have been an arm to the children of Lot. Selah

עֲשֵֽׂה־לָהֶ֥ם כְּמִדְיָ֑ן כְּֽסִיסְרָ֥א כְ֝יָבִ֗ין בְּנַ֣חַל קִישֽׁוֹן׃

Do Thou unto them as unto Midian; As to Sisera, as to Jabin, at the brook Kishon;

נִשְׁמְד֥וּ בְֽעֵין־דֹּ֑אר הָ֥יוּ דֹ֝֗מֶן לָאֲדָמָֽה׃

Who were destroyed at En-dor; They became as dung for the earth.

שִׁיתֵ֣מוֹ נְ֭דִיבֵימוֹ כְּעֹרֵ֣ב וְכִזְאֵ֑ב וּֽכְזֶ֥בַח וּ֝כְצַלְמֻנָּ֗ע כׇּל־נְסִיכֵֽימוֹ׃

Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb, And like Zebah and Zalmunna all their princes;

אֲשֶׁ֣ר אָ֭מְרוּ נִ֣ירְשָׁה לָּ֑נוּ אֵ֝֗ת נְא֣וֹת אֱלֹהִֽים׃

Who said: 'Let us take to ourselves in possession The habitations of God.'

אֱֽלֹהַ֗י שִׁיתֵ֥מוֹ כַגַּלְגַּ֑ל כְּ֝קַ֗שׁ לִפְנֵי־רֽוּחַ׃

O my God, make them like the whirling dust; As stubble before the wind.

כְּאֵ֥שׁ תִּבְעַר־יָ֑עַר וּ֝כְלֶהָבָ֗ה תְּלַהֵ֥ט הָרִֽים׃

As the fire that burneth the forest, And as the flame that setteth the mountains ablaze;

כֵּ֭ן תִּרְדְּפֵ֣ם בְּסַעֲרֶ֑ךָ וּבְסוּפָתְךָ֥ תְבַהֲלֵֽם׃

So pursue them with Thy tempest, And affright them with Thy storm.

מַלֵּ֣א פְנֵיהֶ֣ם קָל֑וֹן וִיבַקְשׁ֖וּ שִׁמְךָ֣ יְהֹוָֽה׃

Fill their faces with shame; That they may seek Thy name, O LORD.

יֵבֹ֖שׁוּ וְיִבָּהֲל֥וּ עֲדֵי־עַ֗ד וְֽיַחְפְּר֥וּ וְיֹאבֵֽדוּ׃

Let them be ashamed and affrighted for ever; Yea, let them be abashed and perish;

וְֽיֵדְע֗וּ כִּי־אַתָּ֬ה שִׁמְךָ֣ יְהֹוָ֣ה לְבַדֶּ֑ךָ עֶ֝לְי֗וֹן עַל־כׇּל־הָאָֽרֶץ׃ {פ}

That they may know that it is Thou alone whose name is the LORD, The Most High over all the earth.
