Tehillim 80-83

Orthodox Jewish Bible

80 (For the one directing. Set to The Lilies of the Edut. Of Asaph. Mizmor.) Give ear, O Ro’eh Yisroel, Thou that leadest Yosef like a tzon; Thou that art enthroned between the Keruvim, shine forth.

²⁽³⁾Before Ephrayim and Binyamin and Menasheh, Stir up Thy gevurah (might), and come and save us.

³⁽⁴⁾Turn us again, O Elohim, and cause Thy face to shine that we may be saved.

⁴⁽⁵⁾Hashem Elohim Tzva’os, ad mosai (how long) wilt Thou be angry against the tefillat amecha (prayer of Thy people)?

⁵⁽⁶⁾Thou feedest them with the lechem dimah (bread of tears); and givest them dima’ot (tears) to drink in great measure.

⁶⁽⁷⁾Thou makest us a madon (strife, contention) unto shcheneinu (our neighbors), and oyveinu (our enemies) mock us.

⁷⁽⁸⁾Turn us again, O Elohim Tzva’os, and cause Thy face to shine that we may be saved.

⁸⁽⁹⁾Thou hast brought a gefen (vine) out of Mitzrayim; Thou hast drove out Goyim, and planted it.

⁹⁽¹⁰⁾Thou preparedst room before it, and didst cause it to take deep root, and it filled the eretz.

¹⁰⁽¹¹⁾The harim were covered with the tzel (shadow) of it, and the branches thereof were like the mighty cedars.

¹¹⁽¹²⁾It sent out its branches unto the yam (sea, i.e., Mediterranean Sea) and its shoots unto the Nahar (river, i.e., the Euphrates).

¹²⁽¹³⁾Lammah (why) hast Thou then broken down her walls, so that all they which pass by the derech do pluck her?

¹³⁽¹⁴⁾The chazir (wild boar) out of the forest doth lay it waste, and the beasts of the sadeh doth devour it.

¹⁴⁽¹⁵⁾Shuv nah (return now), we beseech Thee, O Elohim Tzva’os; look down from Shomayim, and behold, and visit gefen zot (this vine);

¹⁵⁽¹⁶⁾And the stock which Thy Yamin (Right Hand) hath planted, and the Ben that Thou madest strong for Thyself.

¹⁶⁽¹⁷⁾It is burned with eish, it is cut down; they perish at the ge’arah (rebuke) of Thy countenance.

¹⁷⁽¹⁸⁾Let Thy Yad be upon the Ish Yeminecha (the Man of your Right Hand), upon the Ben Adam whom Thou madest strong for Thyself [cf Psalm 110:1; Dan 7:13].

¹⁸⁽¹⁹⁾So will we never turn back from Thee; revive us, and we will call upon Thy Shem.

¹⁹Turn us again, Hashem Elohim Tzva’os; cause Thy face to shine that we may be saved.

81 (For the one directing. On the gittis. Of Asaph.) Sing with joy unto Elohim uzeinu (our strength); make a joyful noise unto Elohei Ya’akov.

²⁽³⁾Begin a song, and bring hither the tambourine, the pleasant kinnor (harp) with the nevel (lyre).

³⁽⁴⁾Blow the shofar at Rosh Chodesh, at the full moon, on Yom Chageinu.

⁴⁽⁵⁾For this was a chok for Yisroel, and a mishpat of the Elohei Ya’akov.

⁵⁽⁶⁾This He ordained in Yosef for an edut, when He went out over Eretz Mitzra- yim; where a language of one not known did I hear.

⁶⁽⁷⁾I removed his shekhem (shoulder) from the burden; his hands were delivered from the basket.

⁷⁽⁸⁾In tzoros thou calledst, and I delivered thee; I answered thee in the seter ra’am (secret place of thunder); I tested thee at the waters of Merivah. Selah.

⁸⁽⁹⁾Shema, O My people, and I will admonish thee; O Yisroel, if thou wilt pay heed unto Me;

⁹⁽¹⁰⁾There shall no el zar (strange, foreign g-d) be among thee; neither shalt thou worship any el nechar (foreign g-d).

¹⁰⁽¹¹⁾I am Hashem Eloheicha Who brought thee out of Eretz Mitzrayim; open thy mouth wide, I will fill it.

¹¹⁽¹²⁾But My people would not pay heed to My voice; and Yisroel would have none of Me.

¹²⁽¹³⁾So I gave them up unto their own hearts’ sherirut (stubbornness); and they walked in their own mo’atzot (counsels).

¹³⁽¹⁴⁾Oh that My people had paid heed unto Me, and Yisroel had walked in My ways!

¹⁴⁽¹⁵⁾I should soon have subdued their oyevim and turned My Yad (hand, power) against their adversaries.

¹⁵⁽¹⁶⁾The haters of Hashem should have cringed before Him; their et (time, fate, punishment) endures l’olam.

¹⁶⁽¹⁷⁾He would have fed them also with the finest of the chittah (wheat); and with devash (honey) from the Tzur would I have satisfied thee.

82 (Mizmor of Asaph.) Elohim standeth in the Adat El; He judgeth among the elohim [See Ps 82:6 and Yn 10:34].

²Ad mosai (How long) will ye judge unjustly, and show partiality to the resha’im? Selah.

³Defend the poor and yatom (fatherless); do justice to the oni (afflicted) and needy.

⁴Deliver the poor and needy; rid them out of the yad resha’im.

⁵They know not, neither will they understand; they walk on in choshech; all the foundations of ha’aretz are shaken.

⁶I have said, elohim ye are; and all of you are Bnei HaElyon.

⁷But ye shall die like adam, and fall like one of the sarim (princes).

⁸Arise, Elohim, judge ha’aretz; for Thou shalt inherit kol HaGoyim.

83 (Shir. Mizmor of Asaph). Keep not Thou silent, O Elohim; hold not Thy peace, and be not still, O El (G-d).

²⁽³⁾For, hinei, Thine oyevim are in tumult; and they that hate Thee have lifted up the rosh.

³⁽⁴⁾They lay out a crafty conspiracy against Amecha (Thy people), and plot against Tzefunecha (Thy sheltered, protected, hidden ones).

⁴⁽⁵⁾They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from being a goy (nation); that the shem Yisroel may be no more remembered.

⁵⁽⁶⁾For they have plotted together with one lev; they cut a brit against Thee;

⁶⁽⁷⁾The ohalim Edom, and the Yishm’elim; of Moav, and the Hagerim;

⁷⁽⁸⁾Geval, and Ammon, and Amalek; Peleshet (Philistia) with the inhabitants of Tzor;

⁸⁽⁹⁾Assyria also is joined with them; they are the zero’a (strong arm) of the Bnei Lot. Selah.

⁹⁽¹⁰⁾Do unto them as unto Midyan; as to Sisra, as to Yavin, at the Wadi Kishon [see Shofetim chp 4-8];

¹⁰⁽¹¹⁾Which became shmad at Ein-Dor; they became like domen (dung, fertilizer) for ha’adamah.

¹¹⁽¹²⁾Make their nobles like Orev, and like Ze’ev; yes, all their princes like Zevach, and like Tzalmunna;

¹²⁽¹³⁾Who said, Let us take possession for ourselves of the pasturelands of Elohim.

¹³⁽¹⁴⁾O Elohai, make them like galgal (tumbleweed); like chaff before the ruach (wind).

¹⁴⁽¹⁵⁾As the eish consumeth the forest, and as the flame setteth ablaze harim;

¹⁵⁽¹⁶⁾So pursue them with Thy sa’ar (tempest, storm), and make them afraid with Thy storm.

¹⁶⁽¹⁷⁾Fill their faces with shame; that they may seek Shimcha, Hashem.

¹⁷⁽¹⁸⁾Let them be put to shame and dismayed adei ad (forever); yes, let them perish in disgrace;

¹⁸⁽¹⁹⁾Let them have da’as that Thou alone, Shimcha Hashem, art Elyon al kol HaAretz.
