اَلْمَزَامِيرُ 83

١ 1 تَسْبِيحَةٌ. مَزْمُورٌ لِآسَافَ اَللَّهُمَّ، لَا تَصْمُتْ. لَا تَسْكُتْ وَلَا تَهْدَأْ يَاٱللهُ.

“A song or psalm of Assaph.” O God, take no rest for thyself: be not silent and keep not still, O God!

٢ 2 فَهُوَذَا أَعْدَاؤُكَ يَعِجُّونَ، وَمُبْغِضُوكَ قَدْ رَفَعُوا ٱلرَّأْسَ.

For, lo, thy enemies make a tumult, and they that hate thee have lifted up their head.

٣ 3 عَلَى شَعْبِكَ مَكَرُوا مُؤَامَرَةً، وَتَشَاوَرُوا عَلَى أَحْمِيَائِكَ.

Against thy people they take crafty secret device, and they consult against those whom thou protectest.

٤ 4 قَالُوا: «هَلُمَّ نُبِدْهُمْ مِنْ بَيْنِ ٱلشُّعُوبِ، وَلَا يُذْكَرُ ٱسْمُ إِسْرَائِيلَ بَعْدُ».

They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation; and the name of Israel shall be remembered no more.

٥ 5 لِأَنَّهُمْ تَآمَرُوا بِٱلْقَلْبِ مَعًا. عَلَيْكَ تَعَاهَدُوا عَهْدًا.

For they have consulted cordially together; against thee they make a covenant:

٦ 6 خِيَامُ أَدُومَ وَٱلْإِسْمَاعِيلِيِّينَ، مُوآبُ وَٱلْهَاجَرِيُّونَ.

The tents of Edom, and the Ishmaelites: Moab, and the Hagarenes;

٧ 7 جِبَالُ وَعَمُّونُ وَعَمَالِيقُ، فَلَسْطِينُ مَعَ سُكَّانِ صُورٍ.

Gebal, and 'Ammon, and 'Amalek; the Philistines with the inhabitants of Tyre;

٨ 8 أَشُّورُ أَيْضًا ٱتَّفَقَ مَعَهُمْ. صَارُوا ذِرَاعًا لِبَنِي لُوطٍ. سِلَاهْ.

Also Asshur is joined with them; they have become an arm unto the children of Lot. (Selah)

٩ 9 اِفْعَلْ بِهِمْ كَمَا بِمِدْيَانَ، كَمَا بِسِيسَرَا، كَمَا بِيَابِينَ فِي وَادِي قِيشُونَ.

Do unto them as [unto] Midian; as to Sissera, as to Jabin, at the brook Kishon:

١٠ 10 بَادُوا فِي عَيْنِ دُورٍ. صَارُوا دِمَنًا لِلْأَرْضِ.

Who were annihilated at 'En-dor; they became as dung for the ground.

١١ 11 ٱجْعَلْهُمْ، شُرَفَاءَهُمْ مِثْلَ غُرَابٍ، وَمِثْلَ ذِئْبٍ. وَمِثْلَ زَبَحَ، وَمِثْلَ صَلْمُنَّاعَ كُلَّ أُمَرَائِهِمْ.

Render them, their nobles, like 'Oreb, and like Zeeb; yea, like Zebach and like Zalmunna' all their princes;

١٢ 12 ٱلَّذِينَ قَالُوا: «لِنَمْتَلِكْ لِأَنْفُسِنَا مَسَاكِنَ ٱللهِ».

Who said, Let us conquer for ourselves the dwellings of God,

١٣ 13 يَا إِلَهِي، ٱجْعَلْهُمْ مِثْلَ ٱلْجُلِّ، مِثْلَ ٱلْقَشِّ أَمَامَ ٱلرِّيحِ.

O my God, render them like the thistle-down, like stubble before the wind.

١٤ 14 كَنَارٍ تَحْرِقُ ٱلْوَعْرَ، كَلَهِيبٍ يُشْعِلُ ٱلْجِبَالَ.

As the fire burneth up a forest, and as the flame setteth the mountains on fire:

١٥ 15 هَكَذَا ٱطْرُدْهُمْ بِعَاصِفَتِكَ، وَبِزَوْبَعَتِكَ رَوِّعْهُمْ.

So pursue them with thy storm, and with thy whirlwind do thou terrify them.

١٦ 16 ٱمْلَأْ وُجُوهَهُمْ خِزْيًا، فَيَطْلُبُوا ٱسْمَكَ يَارَبُّ.

Fill their faces with shame, that they may seek thy name, O Lord!

١٧ 17 لِيَخْزَوْا وَيَرْتَاعُوا إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ، وَلْيَخْجَلُوا وَيَبِيدُوا،

Let them be made ashamed and terrified for ever and aye; yea, let them be put to the blush and perish:

١٨ 18 وَيَعْلَمُوا أَنَّكَ ٱسْمُكَ يَهْوَهُ وَحْدَكَ، ٱلْعَلِيُّ عَلَى كُلِّ ٱلْأَرْضِ.

That they may know that thou, whose name is the Eternal, art by thyself alone, the Most High over all the earth.
