TEHILIM
(Book of Psalms)
Chapter 83

Tehilim 82


1
A Song, a Psalm of Asaph.
2
O G-d, keep not Thou silence; hold not Thy peace, and be not still, O G-d.
3
For, lo, Thine enemies are in an uproar; and they that hate Thee have lifted up the head.
4
They hold crafty converse against Thy people, and take counsel against Thy treasured ones.
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.'
6
For they have consulted together with one consent; against Thee do they make a covenant;
7
The tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites; Moab, and the Hagrites;
8
Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek; Philistia with the inhabitants of Tyre;
9
Assyria also is joined with them; they have been an arm to the children of Lot. Selah

10
Do Thou unto them as unto Midian; as to Sisera, as to Jabin, at the brook Kishon;
11
Who were destroyed at En-dor; they became as dung for the earth.
12
Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb, and like Zebah and Zalmunna all their princes;
13
Who said: 'Let us take to ourselves in possession the habitations of G-d.'
14
O my G-d, make them like the whirling dust; as stubble before the wind.
15
As the fire that burneth the forest, and as the flame that setteth the mountains ablaze;
16
So pursue them with Thy tempest, and affright them with Thy storm.
17
Fill their faces with shame; that they may seek Thy name, O HaShem.
18
Let them be ashamed and affrighted for ever; yea, let them be abashed and perish;
19
That they may know that it is Thou alone whose name is HaShem, the Most High over all the earth.
