1(83) A Song of a Psalm for Asaph. O God, who shall be compared to you? be not silent, neither be still, O God.
1A song. A Psalm by Asaph. God, don’t keep silent. Don’t keep silent, and don’t be still, God.
2Forbehold, your enemies have made a noise; and they that hate you have lifted up the head.
2For, behold, your enemies are stirred up. Those who hate you have lifted up their heads.
3Against your people they have craftily imagined a device, and have taken counsel against your saints.
3They conspire with cunning against your people. They plot against your cherished ones.
4They have said, Come, and let us utterly destroy them out of the nation; and let the name of Israel be remembered no more at all.
4“Come,” they say, “let’s destroy them as a nation, that the name of Israel may be remembered no more.”
5For they have taken counsel together with one consent: they have made a confederacy against you;
5For they have conspired together with one mind. They form an alliance against you.
6even the tents of the Idumeans, and the Ismaelites; Moab, and the Agarenes;
6The tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites; Moab, and the Hagrites;
7Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalec; the Philistines also, with them that dwell at Tyre.
7Gebal, Ammon, and Amalek; Philistia with the inhabitants of Tyre;
8Yes, Assur too is come with them: they have become a help to the children of Lot. Pause.
8Assyria also is joined with them. They have helped the children of Lot. Selah.
9Do you to them as to Madiam, and to Sisera; as to Jabinat the brook of Kison.
9Do to them as you did to Midian, as to Sisera, as to Jabin, at the river Kishon;
10They were utterly destroyed at Aendor: they became as dung for the earth.
10who perished at Endor, who became as dung for the earth.
11Make their princes as Oreb and Zeb, and Zebee and Salmana; [even] all their princes:
11Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb, yes, all their princes like Zebah and Zalmunna,
12who said, let us take to ourselves the altar of God as an inheritance.
12who said, “Let’s take possession of God’s pasture lands.”
13O my God, make them as a wheel; as stubble before the face of the wind.
13My God, make them like tumbleweed, like chaff before the wind.
14As fire which shall burn up a wood, as the flame may consume the mountains;
14As the fire that burns the forest, as the flame that sets the mountains on fire,
15so shall you persecute them with your tempest, and trouble them in your anger.
15so pursue them with your tempest, and terrify them with your storm.
16Fill their faces with dishonor; so shall they seek your name, O Lord.
16Fill their faces with confusion, that they may seek your name, Yahweh.
17Let them be ashamed and troubled for evermore; yes, let them be confounded and destroyed.
17Let them be disappointed and dismayed forever. Yes, let them be confounded and perish;
18And let them know that your name is Lord; that you aloneare Most High over all the earth.
18that they may know that you alone, whose name is Yahweh, are the Most High over all the earth.
