Tehillim 83:1–10 – O God, keep not Thou silence ...

Dov Bar-Leib said...

Are we having problem with tents because of Psalm 83?
How close are we to this war?

ז אָהֳלֵי אֱדוֹם, וְיִשְׁמְעֵאלִים; מוֹאָב וְהַגְרִים. 7 The tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites; Moab, and the Hagrites;
ח גְּבָל וְעַמּוֹן, וַעֲמָלֵק; פְּלֶשֶׁת, עִם-יֹשְׁבֵי צוֹר. 8 Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek; Philistia with the inhabitants of Tyre;

Psalms Chapter 83 תְּהִלִּים

א  שִׁיר מִזְמוֹר לְאָסָף.

1 A Song, a Psalm of Asaph.

ב  אֱלֹהִים אַל-דֳּמִי-לָךְ;    אַל-תֶּחֱרַשׁ וְאַל-תִּשְׁקֹט אֵל.

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

ג  כִּי-הִנֵּה אוֹיְבֶיךָ, יֶהֱמָיוּן;    וּמְשַׂנְאֶיךָ, נָשְׂאוּ רֹאשׁ.

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

ד  עַל-עַמְּךָ, יַעֲרִימוּ סוֹד;    וְיִתְיָעֲצוּ, עַל-צְפוּנֶיךָ.

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

ה  אָמְרוּ--לְכוּ, וְנַכְחִידֵם מִגּוֹי;    וְלֹא-יִזָּכֵר שֵׁם-יִשְׂרָאֵל עוֹד.

5 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.'

ו  כִּי נוֹעֲצוּ לֵב יַחְדָּו;    עָלֶיךָ, בְּרִית יִכְרֹתוּ.

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

ז  אָהֳלֵי אֱדוֹם, וְיִשְׁמְעֵאלִים;    מוֹאָב וְהַגְרִים.

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

ח  גְּבָל וְעַמּוֹן, וַעֲמָלֵק;    פְּלֶשֶׁת, עִם-יֹשְׁבֵי צוֹר.

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

ט  גַּם-אַשּׁוּר, נִלְוָה עִמָּם;    הָיוּ זְרוֹעַ לִבְנֵי-לוֹט סֶלָה.

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

י  עֲשֵׂה-לָהֶם כְּמִדְיָן;    כְּסִיסְרָא כְיָבִין, בְּנַחַל קִישׁוֹן.

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

Thanks. I know this Tehilim well; it's one of my favorites.
It's so clear.
May H' bring us the Geulah in a blink of an eye, with great Rachamim!
