Chapter 83

A Song or Mizmor of Acaph.

1

KEEP not your silence, O Elohiym: hold not your peace, and be not still, O El.

2

For, lo, your enemies make a tumult: and they that hate you have lifted up the head.

3

They have taken crafty counsel against your people, and consulted against your hidden ones.

4

They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation; that the name of Yashar'el may be no more in remembrance.

5

For they have consulted together with one consent: they are confederate against you:

6

The tabernacles of Edom, and the Yishma'e'liym; of Mo'av, and the Hagriym;

7

Geval, and Ammon, and Amaleq; the Pelishtiym with the inhabitants of Tsor;

8

Ashshur also is joined with them: they have helped the children of Lot. Celah.

9

Do unto them as unto the Midyaniym; as to Ciycera, as to Yaviyn, at the brook of Qiyshon:

10

Which perished at Eyn-Do'r: they became as dung for the earth.

11

Make their nobles like Orev, and like Ze'ev: yea, all their princes as Zevach, and as Tsalmunna:

12

Who said, Let us take to ourselves את the houses of Elohiym in possession.

13

O Elohai, make them like a wheel; as the stubble before the wind.

14

As the fire burns a wood, and as the flame sets the mountains on fire;

15

So persecute them with your tempest, and make them afraid with your storm.

16

Fill their faces with shame; that they may seek your name, O Yahuah.

17

Let them be confounded and troubled forever; yea, let them be put to shame, and perish:

18

That men may know that you, whose name alone is Yahuah, are El Elyon over all the earth.
