Psalm 83

1 A song. A psalm of Asaf: God, don't remain silent! Don't stay quiet, God, or still;

1 God, don't shut me out; don't give me the silent treatment, O God.

2 because here are your enemies, causing an uproar; those who hate you are raising their heads,

2 Your enemies are out there whooping it up, the God-haters are living it up;

3 craftily conspiring against your people, consulting together against those you treasure.

3 They're plotting to do your people in, conspiring to rob you of your precious ones.

4 They say, "Come, let's wipe them out as a nation; let the name of Isra'el be remembered no more!"

4 "Let's wipe this nation from the face of the earth," they say; "scratch Israel's name off the books."

5 With one mind they plot their schemes; the covenant they have made is against you

5 And now they're putting their heads together, making plans to get rid of you.

6 the tents of Edom and the Yishma'elim, Mo'av and the Hagrim,

6 Edom and the Ishmaelites, Moab and the Hagrites,

7 G'val, 'Amon and 'Amalek, P'leshet with those living in Tzor; (Selah)

7 Gebal and Ammon and Amalek, Philistia and the Tyrians,

8 Ashur too is allied with them, to reinforce the descendants of Lot.

8 And now Assyria has joined up, Giving muscle to the gang of Lot.

9 Do to them as you did to Midyan, to Sisra and Yavin at Vadi Kishon

9 Do to them what you did to Midian, to Sisera and Jabin at Kishon Brook;

10 they were destroyed at 'Ein-Dor and became manure for the ground.

10 They came to a bad end at Endor, nothing but dung for the garden.

11 Make their leaders like 'Orev and Ze'ev, all their princes like Zevach and Tzalmuna,

11 Cut down their leaders as you did Oreb and Zeeb, their princes to nothings like Zebah and Zalmunna,

12 who said, "Let's take possession of God's meadows for ourselves."

12 With their empty brags, "We're grabbing it all, grabbing God's gardens for ourselves."

13 My God, make them like whirling dust, like chaff driven by the wind.

13 My God! I've had it with them! Blow them away! Tumbleweeds in the desert waste,

14 Like fire burning up the forest, like a flame that sets the mountains ablaze,

14 charred sticks in the burned-over ground.

15 drive them away with your storm, terrify them with your tempest.

15 Knock the breath right out of them, so they're gasping

16 Fill their faces with shame, so that they will seek your name, ADONAI.

16 for breath, gasping, "God."

17 Let them be ashamed and fearful forever; yes, let them perish in disgrace.

17 Bring them to the end of their rope, and leave them there dangling, helpless.

18 Let them know that you alone, whose name is ADONAI, are the Most High over all the earth.

18 Then they'll learn your name: "God," the one and only High God on earth.
