Psalm
Psalms, 83
A song. A melody of Aʹsaph.
1 O God, let there be no silence on your part; Do not keep speechless, and do not stay quiet, O Divine One.*1
|
2 For, look! your very enemies are in an uproar; And the very ones intensely hating you have raised [their] head.
3 Against your people they cunningly carry on their confidential talk; And they conspire against your concealed ones.
4 They have said: “Come and let us efface them from being a nation, That the name of Israel may be remembered no more.”
5 For with the heart they have unitedly exchanged counsel; Against you they proceeded to conclude even a covenant,*1
|
6 The tents of Eʹdom and the Ishʹma·el·ites, Moʹab and the Hagʹrites,
7 Geʹbal and Amʹmon and Amʹa·lek, Phi·lisʹti·a together with the inhabitants of Tyre.
8 Also, As·syrʹi·a*1 itself has become joined with them; They have become an arm to the sons of Lot.*2 Seʹlah.
|
9 Do to them as to Midʹi·an, as to Sisʹe·ra, As to Jaʹbin at the torrent valley of Kiʹshon.
10 They were annihilated at En-dor; They became manure for the ground.
11 As for their nobles, make these like Oʹreb and like Zeʹeb, And like Zeʹbah and like Zal·munʹna all their dukes,
12 Who have said: “Let us take possession of the abiding places of God for ourselves.”
13 O my God, make them like a thistle whirl, Like stubble before a wind.*1
|
14 Like a fire that burns up the forest And like a flame that scorches the mountains,
15 In just that way may you pursue them with your tempest And may you disturb them with your own storm wind.
16 Fill their faces with dishonor, That people*1 may search for your name, O Jehovah.
|
17 O may they be ashamed and be disturbed for all times, And may they become abashed and perish;
18 That people may know that you, whose name is Jehovah, You alone are the Most High over all the earth.
