Psalm 83:1 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 83:1

Keep not thou silence, O God
Which he is thought and said to do, when he does not answer the prayers of his people, nor plead their cause, nor rebuke their enemies; when he does not speak a good word to them, or one for them, or one against those that hate and persecute them;

hold not thy peace;
or "be not deaf" F2 to the cries and tears of his people, and to the reproaches, menaces, and blasphemies of wicked men:

and be not still, O God;
or "quiet" F3, at rest and ease, inactive and unconcerned, as if he cared not how things went; the reason follows.

Psalm 83:1 In-Context

1 Cantique. Psaume d'Asaph. O Dieu, ne reste pas dans le silence! Ne te tais pas, et ne te repose pas, ô Dieu!
2 Car voici, tes ennemis s'agitent, Ceux qui te haïssent lèvent la tête.
3 Ils forment contre ton peuple des projets pleins de ruse, Et ils délibèrent contre ceux que tu protèges.
4 Venez, disent-ils, exterminons-les du milieu des nations, Et qu'on ne se souvienne plus du nom d'Israël!
5 Ils se concertent tous d'un même coeur, Ils font une alliance contre toi;
