Psalms 83
1 A Song of a Psalm for Asaph. O God, who shall be compared to you? be not silent, neither be still, O God.
| שיר מזמור לאסף ב אלהים אל-דמי-לך אל-תחרש ואל-תשקט אל |
2 For behold, your enemies have made a noise; and they that hate you have lifted up the head.
| כי-הנה אויביך יהמיון ומשנאיך נשאו ראש |
3 Against your people they have craftily imagined a device, and have taken counsel against your saints.
| על-עמך יערימו סוד ויתיעצו על-צפוניך |
4 They have said, Come, and let us utterly destroy them out of the nation; and let the name of Israel be remembered no more at all.
| אמרו--לכו ונכחידם מגוי ולא-יזכר שם-ישראל עוד |
5 For they have taken counsel together with one consent: they have made a confederacy against you;
| כי נועצו לב יחדו עליך ברית יכרתו |
6 even the tents of the Idumeans, and the Ismaelites; Moab, and the Agarenes;
| אהלי אדום וישמעאלים מואב והגרים |
7 Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalec; the Philistines also, with them that dwell at Tyre.
| גבל ועמון ועמלק פלשת עם-ישבי צור |
8 Yes, Assur too is come with them: they have become a help to the children of Lot. (Pause)
| גם-אשור נלוה עמם היו זרוע לבני-לוט סלה |
9 Do you to them as to Madiam, and to Sisera; as to Jabin at the brook of Kison.
| עשה-להם כמדין כסיסרא כיבין בנחל קישון |
10 They were utterly destroyed at Aendor: they became as dung for the earth.
| נשמדו בעין-דאר היו דמן לאדמה |
11 Make their princes as Oreb and Zeb, and Zebee and Salmana; [even] all their princes:
| שיתמו נדיבימו כערב וכזאב וכזבח וכצלמנע כל-נסיכימו |
12 who said, let us take to ourselves the altar of God as an inheritance.
| אשר אמרו נירשה לנו-- את נאות אלהים |
13 O my God, make them as a wheel; as stubble before the face of the wind.
| אלהי שיתמו כגלגל כקש לפני-רוח |
14 As fire which shall burn up a wood, as the flame may consume the mountains;
| כאש תבער-יער וכלהבה תלהט הרים |
15 so shall you persecute them with your tempest, and trouble them in your anger.
| כן תרדפם בסערך ובסופתך תבהלם |
16 Fill their faces with dishonor; so shall they seek your name, O Lord.
| מלא פניהם קלון ויבקשו שמך יהוה |
17 Let them be ashamed and troubled for evermore; yes, let them be confounded and destroyed.
| יבשו ויבהלו עדי-עד ויחפרו ויאבדו |
18 And let them know that your name is Lord; that you alone are Most High over all the earth.
| וידעו-- כי-אתה שמך יהוה לבדך עליון על-כל-הארץ |
