Tehillim 83 – A psalm, a song of Asaph

 

1A psalm, a song of Asaph.		אשִׁ֖יר מִזְמ֣וֹר לְאָסָֽף:
2O God, have no silence, do not be silent and do not be still, O God.		באֱלֹהִ֥ים אַל־דֳּמִי־לָ֑ךְ אַל־תֶּֽחֱרַ֖שׁ וְאַל־תִּשְׁקֹ֣ט אֵֽל:
3For behold, Your enemies stir, and those who hate You raise their heads.		גכִּי־הִנֵּ֣ה אֽ֖וֹיְבֶיךָ יֶֽהֱמָי֑וּן וּ֜מְשַׂנְאֶ֗יךָ נָ֣שְׂאוּ רֹֽאשׁ:
4Against Your people they plot cunningly, and they take counsel against Your protected ones.		דעַל־עַ֖מְּךָ יַֽעֲרִ֣ימוּ ס֑וֹד וְ֜יִֽתְיָֽעֲצ֗וּ עַל־צְפוּנֶֽיךָ:
5They said, "Come, let us destroy them from [being] a nation, and the name of Israel will no longer be remembered."		האָֽמְר֗וּ לְכ֣וּ וְנַכְחִידֵ֣ם מִגּ֑וֹי וְלֹֽא־יִזָּכֵ֖ר שֵׁם־יִשְׂרָאֵ֣ל עֽוֹד:
6For they have taken counsel with one accord; against You they form a pact.		וכִּ֚י נֽוֹעֲצ֣וּ לֵ֣ב יַחְדָּ֑ו עָ֜לֶ֗יךָ בְּרִ֣ית יִכְרֹֽתוּ:
7The tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites, Moab and the Hagrites.		זאָֽהֳלֵ֣י אֱ֖דוֹם וְיִשְׁמְעֵאלִ֑ים מוֹאָ֥ב וְהַגְרִֽים:
8Gebal, Ammon, and Amalek, Philistia with the inhabitants of Tyre.		חגְּבָ֣ל וְ֖עַמּוֹן וַֽעֲמָלֵ֑ק פְּ֜לֶ֗שֶׁת עִם־יֹ֥שְׁבֵי צֽוֹר:
9Also Assyria joined them; they were the arm of the children of Lot forever.		טגַּם־אַ֖שּׁוּר נִלְוָ֣ה עִמָּ֑ם הָי֨וּ זְר֖וֹעַ לִבְנֵי־ל֣וֹט סֶֽלָה:
10Do to them as [to] Midian; as [to] Sisera, as [to] Jabin in the brook Kishon.		יעֲשֵׂה־לָהֶ֥ם כְּמִדְיָ֑ן כְּסִֽיסְרָ֥א כְ֜יָבִ֗ין בְּנַ֣חַל קִישֽׁוֹן:
11They were destroyed in En-Dor; they were [as] dung on the ground.		יאנִשְׁמְד֥וּ בְעֵין־דֹּ֑אר הָ֥יוּ דֹּ֜֗מֶן לַאֲדָמָֽה:
12Make them, their nobles, as Oreb and as Zeeb, and as Zebah and as Zalmuna all their princes,		יבשִׁיתֵ֣מוֹ נְ֖דִיבֵמוֹ כְּעֹרֵ֣ב וְכִזְאֵ֑ב וּכְזֶ֥בַח וּ֜כְצַלְמֻנָּ֗ע כָּל־נְסִיכֵֽמוֹ:
13Who said, "Let us inherit for ourselves the dwellings of God."		יגאֲשֶׁ֣ר אָֽ֖מְרוּ נִ֣ירְשָׁה לָּ֑נוּ אֵ֖ת נְא֣וֹת אֱלֹהִֽים:
14My God, make them like thistles, like stubble before the wind.		ידאֱֽלֹהַ֗י שִׁיתֵ֥מוֹ כַגַּלְגַּ֑ל כְּ֜קַ֗שׁ לִפְנֵי־רֽוּחַ:
15As a fire that burns in a forest and as a flame that burns mountains.		טוכְּאֵ֥שׁ תִּבְעַר־יָ֑עַר וּ֜כְלֶֽהָבָ֗ה תְּלַהֵ֥ט הָרִֽים:
16So will You pursue them with Your tempest, and with Your whirlwind You will terrify them.		טזכֵּן תִּרְדְּפֵ֣ם בְּסַֽעֲרֶ֑ךָ וּבְסוּפָֽתְךָ֥ תְבַֽהֲלֵֽם:
17Fill their faces with shame, and they will seek Your countenance, O Lord.		יזמַלֵּ֣א פְנֵיהֶ֣ם קָל֑וֹן וִֽיבַקְשׁ֖וּ שִׁמְךָ֣ יְהֹוָֽה:
18Let them be ashamed and terrified forever; let them be disgraced and perish.		יחיֵבֹ֖שׁוּ וְיִבָּֽהֲל֥וּ עֲדֵי־עַ֗ד וְֽיַחְפְּר֥וּ וְיֹאבֵֽדוּ:
19Let them know that You-Your name alone is the Lord, Most High over all the earth.		יטוְיֵֽדְע֗וּ כִּי־אַתָּ֬ה שִׁמְךָ֣ יְהֹוָ֣ה לְבַדֶּ֑ךָ עֶ֜לְי֗וֹן עַל־כָּל־הָאָֽרֶץ:
