Tehillim 83 - Chapter 83 - Psalm 83

Shir mizmor leassaf
Elohim al domi lach, al techerash veal tish’cot El
Ki hine oievêcha iehemaiun, umssan’êcha nasseú rosh
Al amechá iaarímu sod, veyit’iaatsu al tsefunêcha
Ameru lechu venach’chidem migoi, velo yizacher shem Yisrael od
Ki noatsu lev iachdav, alêcha berit yich’rotu
Aholê Edom veyishmeelim, Moav vehaguerim
Gueval veamon vaamalec, Peléshet im ioshevê Tsor
Gam Ashur nilvá imam, haiu zerôa livnê Lot sêla
Asse lahem kemidian, kessisserá cheiavin benáchal Kishon
Nishmedu veen dor, haiu dômen laadamá
Shitêmo nedivêmo keorev vechizeev, uchzévach uchtsalmuná col nessichêmo
Asher ameru niresha lánu, et neot Elohim
Elohai shitêmo chagalgal, kecash lifnê rúach
Keesh tiv’ar iáar, uchlehava telahet harim
Ken tirdefem bessaarêcha, uvsufatechá tevahalem
Male fenehem calon, vivac’shú shimchá Adonai
Ievôshu veyibahalu adê ad, veiach’peru veiovêdu
Veiedeú ki ata shimchá Adonai levadêcha, elion al col haárets

1. A Song Psalm of Asaph.
2. Do not keep silent, O God; do not hold your peace and be still, O God.
3. For, behold, your enemies make a tumult; and those who hate you have lifted up the head.
4. They have taken crafty counsel against your people, and consulted against your hidden ones.
5. They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation; that the name of Israel may no longer be remembered.
6. For they conspire together with one accord; they make an alliance against you:.
7. The tents of Edom, and the Ishmaelites; of Moab, and the Hagarites;.
8. Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek; the Philistines with the inhabitants of Tyre;.
9. Assyria also has joined them; they are the strong arm of the children of Lot. Selah.
10. Do to them as you did to the Midianites; as you did to Sisera, as you did to Jabin at the brook of Kishon;.
11. Who perished at Ein-Dor; they became like dung on the earth.
12. Make their nobles like Oreb, and like Zeeb; and all their princes like Zebah, and Zalmunna;.
13. Who said, Let us take possession for ourselves of the pastures of God.
14. O my God, make them like whirling tumbleweed, like chaff before the wind.
15. As the fire burns a wood, and as the flame sets the mountains on fire;.
16. So pursue them with your tempest, and terrify them with your storm.
17. Fill their faces with shame; that they may seek your name, O Lord.
18. Let them be put to shame and dismayed for ever; and let them be put to shame, and perish,.
19. That men may know that you alone, whose name is the Lord, are the most high over all the earth.
