A song. A Psalm by Asaph. God, don’t keep silent. Don’t keep silent, and don’t be still, God. (MT 83:2; LXX 82:1; LXX 82:2; Rahlfs 82:1; Rahlfs 82:2)
שִׁ֖יר מִזְמ֣וֹר לְאָסָֽף׃
2For, behold, your enemies are stirred up. Those who hate you have lifted up their heads. (MT 83:3; LXX 82:3; Rahlfs 82:3)
אֱלֹהִ֥ים אַל־דֳּמִי־לָ֑ךְ אַל־תֶּחֱרַ֖שׁ וְאַל־תִּשְׁקֹ֣ט אֵֽל׃
3They conspire with cunning against your people. They plot against your cherished ones. (MT 83:4; LXX 82:4; Rahlfs 82:4)
כִּֽי־הִנֵּ֣ה א֭וֹיְבֶיךָ יֶהֱמָי֑וּן וּ֝מְשַׂנְאֶ֗יךָ נָ֣שְׂאוּ רֹֽאשׁ׃
4“Come,” they say, “let’s destroy them as a nation, that the name of Israel may be remembered no more.” (MT 83:5; LXX 82:5; Rahlfs 82:5)
עַֽל־עַ֭מְּךָ יַעֲרִ֣ימוּ ס֑וֹד וְ֝יִתְיָעֲצ֗וּ עַל־צְפוּנֶֽיךָ׃
5For they have conspired together with one mind. They form an alliance against you. (MT 83:6; LXX 82:6; Rahlfs 82:6)
אָמְר֗וּ לְ֭כוּ וְנַכְחִידֵ֣ם מִגּ֑וֹי וְלֹֽא־יִזָּכֵ֖ר שֵֽׁם־יִשְׂרָאֵ֣ל עֽוֹד׃
6The tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites; Moab, and the Hagrites; (MT 83:7; LXX 82:7; Rahlfs 82:7)
כִּ֤י נוֹעֲצ֣וּ לֵ֣ב יַחְדָּ֑ו עָ֝לֶ֗יךָ בְּרִ֣ית יִכְרֹֽתוּ׃
7Gebal, Ammon, and Amalek; Philistia with the inhabitants of Tyre; (MT 83:8; LXX 82:8; Rahlfs 82:8)
אָהֳלֵ֣י אֱ֭דוֹם וְיִשְׁמְעֵאלִ֗ים מוֹאָ֥ב וְהַגְרִֽים׃
8Assyria also is joined with them. They have helped the children of Lot. Selah. (MT 83:9; LXX 82:9; Rahlfs 82:9)
גְּבָ֣ל וְ֭עַמּוֹן וַעֲמָלֵ֑ק פְּ֝לֶ֗שֶׁת עִם־יֹ֥שְׁבֵי צֽוֹר׃
9Do to them as you did to Midian, as to Sisera, as to Jabin, at the river Kishon; (MT 83:10; LXX 82:10; Rahlfs 82:10)
גַּם־אַ֭שּׁוּר נִלְוָ֣ה עִמָּ֑ם הָ֤י֥וּ זְר֖וֹעַ לִבְנֵי־ל֣וֹט סֶֽלָה׃
10who perished at Endor, who became as dung for the earth. (MT 83:11; LXX 82:11; Rahlfs 82:11)
עֲשֵֽׂה־לָהֶ֥ם כְּמִדְיָ֑ן כְּֽסִֽיסְרָ֥א כְ֝יָבִ֗ין בְּנַ֣חַל קִישֽׁוֹן׃
11Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb, yes, all their princes like Zebah and Zalmunna, (MT 83:12; LXX 82:12; Rahlfs 82:12)
נִשְׁמְד֥וּ בְֽעֵין־דֹּ֑אר הָ֥יוּ דֹּ֝֗מֶן לָאֲדָמָֽה׃
12who said, “Let’s take possession of God’s pasture lands.” (MT 83:13; LXX 82:13; Rahlfs 82:13)
שִׁיתֵ֣מוֹ נְ֭דִיבֵמוֹ כְּעֹרֵ֣ב וְכִזְאֵ֑ב וּֽכְזֶ֥בַח וּ֝כְצַלְמֻנָּ֗ע כָּל־נְסִיכֵֽמוֹ׃
13My God, make them like tumbleweed, like chaff before the wind. (MT 83:14; LXX 82:14; Rahlfs 82:14)
אֲשֶׁ֣ר אָ֭מְרוּ נִ֣ירֲשָׁה לָּ֑נוּ אֵ֝֗ת נְא֣וֹת אֱלֹהִֽים׃
14As the fire that burns the forest, as the flame that sets the mountains on fire, (MT 83:15; LXX 82:15; Rahlfs 82:15)
אֱֽלֹהַ֗י שִׁיתֵ֥מוֹ כַגַּלְגַּ֑ל כְּ֝קַ֗שׁ לִפְנֵי־רֽוּחַ׃
15so pursue them with your tempest, and terrify them with your storm. (MT 83:16; LXX 82:16; Rahlfs 82:16)
כְּאֵ֥שׁ תִּבְעַר־יָ֑עַר וּ֝כְלֶהָבָ֗ה תְּלַהֵ֥ט הָרִֽים׃
16Fill their faces with confusion, that they may seek your name, Yahweh. (MT 83:17; LXX 82:17; Rahlfs 82:17)
כֵּ֭ן תִּרְדְּפֵ֣ם בְּסַעֲרֶ֑ךָ וּבְסוּפָתְךָ֥ תְבַהֲלֵֽם׃
17Let them be disappointed and dismayed forever. Yes, let them be confounded and perish; (MT 83:18; LXX 82:18; Rahlfs 82:18)
מַלֵּ֣א פְנֵיהֶ֣ם קָל֑וֹן וִֽיבַקְשׁ֖וּ שִׁמְךָ֣ יְהוָֽה׃
18that they may know that you alone, whose name is Yahweh, are the Most High over all the earth. (MT 83:19; LXX 82:19; Rahlfs 82:19)
יֵבֹ֖שׁוּ וְיִבָּהֲל֥וּ עֲדֵי־עַ֗ד וְֽיַחְפְּר֥וּ וְיֹאבֵֽדוּ׃
