- Kapitel 83 -

Be not silent, O God

1
A SONG. A PSALM OF ASAPH. O God, let there be no silence to You, || Do not be silent, nor be quiet, O God.
2
For behold, Your enemies roar, || And those hating You have lifted up the head,
3
They take crafty counsel against Your people, || And consult against Your hidden ones.
4
They have said, “Come, and we cut them off from [being] a nation, || And the name of Israel is not remembered anymore.”
5
For they consulted in heart together, || They make a covenant against You,
6
Tents of Edom, and Ishmaelites, Moab, and the Hagarenes,
7
Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek, Philistia with inhabitants of Tyre,
8
Asshur is also joined with them, || They have been an arm to sons of Lot. Selah.
9
Do to them as Midian, || As Sisera, as Jabin, at the Brook of Kishon.
10
They were destroyed at Endor, || They were dung for the ground!
11
Make their nobles as Oreb and as Zeeb, || And as Zebah and Zalmunna—all their princes,
12
Who have said, “Let us occupy the pastures of God for ourselves.”
13
O my God, make them as a rolling thing, || As stubble before wind.
14
As a fire burns a forest, || And as a flame sets hills on fire,
15
So You pursue them with Your whirlwind, || And trouble them with Your windstorm.
16
Fill their faces [with] shame, || And they seek Your Name, O YHWH.
17
They are ashamed and troubled forever, || Indeed, they are confounded and lost.
18
And they know that YouYour Name [is] YHWHBy Yourself [are] the Most High over all the earth!

Be not silent, O God

1
God, don’t keep silent. Don’t keep silent, and don’t be still, God.
2
For, behold, your enemies are stirred up. Those who hate you have lifted up their heads.
3
They conspire with cunning against your people. They plot against your cherished ones.
4
Come,” they say, “let’s destroy them as a nation, that the name of Israel may be remembered no more.”
5
For they have conspired together with one mind. They form an alliance against you.
6
The tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites; Moab, and the Hagrites;
7
Gebal, Ammon, and Amalek; Philistia with the inhabitants of Tyre;
8
Assyria also is joined with them. They have helped the children of Lot. Selah.
9
Do to them as you did to Midian, as to Sisera, as to Jabin, at the river Kishon;
10
who perished at Endor, who became as dung for the earth.
11
Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb, yes, all their princes like Zebah and Zalmunna,
12
who said, “Let’s take possession of God’s pasture lands.”
13
My God, make them like tumbleweed, like chaff before the wind.
14
As the fire that burns the forest, as the flame that sets the mountains on fire,
15
so pursue them with your tempest, and terrify them with your storm.
16
Fill their faces with confusion, that they may seek your name, LORD.
17
Let them be disappointed and dismayed forever. Yes, let them be confounded and perish;
18
that they may know that you alone, whose name is the LORD, are the Most High over all the earth.
