1(83-1) A Song, a Psalm of Asaph. (83-2) O God, keep not Thou silence; hold not Thy peace, and be not still, O God.
1O God, be not silent; be not speechless; be not still, O God.
2(83-3) For, lo, Thine enemies are in an uproar; and they that hate Thee have lifted up the head.
2See how Your enemies rage, how Your foes have reared their heads.
3(83-4) They hold crafty converse against Thy people, and take counsel against Thy treasured ones.
3With cunning they scheme against Your people and conspire against those You cherish,
4(83-5) They have said: 'Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation; that the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance.'
4saying, “Come, let us erase them as a nation; may the name of Israel be remembered no more.”
5(83-6) For they have consulted together with one consent; against Thee do they make a covenant;
5For with one mind they plot together, they form an alliance against You—
6(83-7) The tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites; Moab, and the Hagrites;
6the tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites, of Moab and the Hagrites,
7(83-8) Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek; Philistia with the inhabitants of Tyre;
7of Gebal, Ammon, and Amalek, of Philistia with the people of Tyre.
8(83-9) Assyria also is joined with them; they have been an arm to the children of Lot. Selah
8Even Assyria has joined them, lending strength to the sons of Lot. Selah
9(83-10) Do Thou unto them as unto Midian; as to Sisera, as to Jabin, at the brook Kishon;
9Do to them as You did to Midian, as to Sisera and Jabin at the River Kishon,
10(83-11) Who were destroyed at En-dor; they became as dung for the earth.
10who perished at Endor and became like dung on the ground.
11(83-12) Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb, and like Zebah and Zalmunna all their princes;
11Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb, and all their princes like Zebah and Zalmunna,
12(83-13) Who said: 'Let us take to ourselves in possession the habitations of God.'
12who said, “Let us possess for ourselves the pastures of God.”
13(83-14) O my God, make them like the whirling dust; as stubble before the wind.
13Make them like tumbleweed, O my God, like chaff before the wind.
14(83-15) As the fire that burneth the forest, and as the flame that setteth the mountains ablaze;
14As fire consumes a forest, as a flame sets the mountains ablaze,
15(83-16) So pursue them with Thy tempest, and affright them with Thy storm.
15so pursue them with Your tempest, and terrify them with Your storm.
16(83-17) Fill their faces with shame; that they may seek Thy name, O LORD.
16Cover their faces with shame, that they may seek Your name, O LORD.
17(83-18) Let them be ashamed and affrighted for ever; yea, let them be abashed and perish;
17May they be ever ashamed and terrified; may they perish in disgrace.
18(83-19) That they may know that it is Thou alone whose name is the LORD, the Most High over all the earth.
18May they know that You alone, whose name is the LORD, are Most High over all the earth.
