Psalm 83
83
O God, Do Not Keep Silence
A Song. A Psalm of #See Ps. 50, titleAsaph.
1O God, do not keep silence;
# See Ps. 28:1 do not hold your peace or be still, O God!
2For behold, your enemies #[Ps. 2:1] make an uproar;
those who hate you have #Judg. 8:28raised their heads.
3They lay #[Neh. 4:8] crafty plans against your people;
they consult together against your #See Ps. 27:5; 31:20treasured ones.
4They say, “Come, #Jer. 48:2; [Ps. 74:8; Esth. 3:6]let us wipe them out as a nation;
let the name of Israel be remembered no more!”
5For they conspire with one accord;
against you they make a covenant—
6the tents of #Ps. 137:7; See 2 Chr. 20:10 Edom and #See Gen. 25:12-16 the Ishmaelites,
#
2 Chr. 20:10 Moab and #1 Chr. 5:10the Hagrites,
7 #
Josh. 13:5 Gebal and #[See ver. 6 above] Ammon and #1 Sam. 15:2 Amalek,
#
1 Sam. 4:1; [Amos 1:6] Philistia with the inhabitants of #Ezek. 27:3; [Amos 1:9]Tyre;
8 #
2 Kgs. 15:19 Asshur also has joined them;
they are the strong arm of #Deut. 2:9, 19the children of Lot. Selah
9Do to them as you did to #Num. 31:7; See Isa. 9:4 Midian,
as to #Judg. 4:15, 24 Sisera and Jabin at #Judg. 4:7; 5:21the river Kishon,
10who were destroyed at #Josh. 17:11; 1 Sam. 28:7 En-dor,
who became #See Job 20:7dung for the ground.
11Make their nobles like #Judg. 7:25; 8:3 Oreb and Zeeb,
all their princes like #See Judg. 8:5-21Zebah and Zalmunna,
12who said, #[2 Chr. 20:11]“Let us take possession for ourselves
of the pastures of God.”
13O my God, make them like #Isa. 17:13 whirling dust,#83:13 Or like a tumbleweed
like #Job 13:25; 21:18; [Ps. 1:4]chaff before the wind.
14As #[Isa. 9:18]; See Isa. 10:16-19 fire consumes the forest,
as the flame #Deut. 32:22sets the mountains ablaze,
15so may you pursue them #Job 9:17with your tempest
and terrify them with your hurricane!
16 # [Ps. 35:4, 26; Job 10:15] Fill their faces with shame,
that they may seek your name, O Lord.
17Let them be #Ps. 35:4put to shame and dismayed forever;
let them perish in disgrace,
18that they may #Ps. 59:13 know that you alone,
#
Ex. 6:3 whose name is the Lord,
are #Ps. 9:2; 18:13; 97:9the Most High over all the earth.

Tehillim (Psalms) 83
83
1O Elohim, do not remain silent! Do not be speechless, And do not be still, O Ěl!
2For look, Your enemies make an uproar, And those hating You have lifted up their head.
3They craftily plot against Your people, And conspire against Your treasured ones.
4They have said, “Come, And let us wipe them out as a nation, And let the name of Yisra’ĕl be remembered no more.”
5For they have conspired together with one heart; They have made a covenant against You –
6The tents of Eḏom and the Yishma‛ĕlites, Mo’aḇ and the Haḡarites,
7Geḇal, and Ammon, and Amalĕq, Philistia with the inhabitants of Tsor,
8Ashshur also has joined with them, They have helped the children of Lot. Selah.
9Do to them as to Miḏyan, As to Sisera, As to Yaḇin at the wadi Qishon,
10Who perished at Ěndor, Who became as dung for the ground.
11Make their nobles like Orĕḇ and like Ze’ĕḇ, And all their princes like Zeḇaḥ and Tsalmunna,
12Who have said, “Let us take possession of the pastures of Elohim For ourselves.”
13O my Elohim, make them as whirling dust, As stubble before the wind!
14As a fire consumes a forest, And as a flame sets mountains on fire,
15So pursue them with Your whirlwind, And frighten them with Your storm.
16Fill their faces with shame, And let them seek Your Name,#See Psa. 44:21, 22; Psa. 74:18; Isa. 52:5; Jer. 23:26, 27 O יהוה.
17Let them be ashamed and alarmed forever; And let them become abashed and perish,
18And let them know that You, Whose Name is יהוה, You alone are the Most High over all the earth.
