Psalm 83
New American Standard Bible
God Implored to Confound His Enemies.
A Song, a Psalm of Asaph.
83 God, (A)do not remain quiet;
(B)Do not be silent and, God, do not be still.
2 For behold, Your enemies (C)make an uproar,
And (D)those who hate You have [a](E)exalted themselves.
3 They (F)make shrewd plans against Your people,
And [b]conspire together against (G)Your [c]treasured ones.
4 They have said, “Come, and (H)let’s wipe them out [d]as a nation,
So that the (I)name of Israel will no longer be remembered.”
5 For they have [e](J)conspired together with one mind;
They make a covenant against You:
6 The tents of (K)Edom and the (L)Ishmaelites,
(M)Moab and the (N)Hagrites;
7 (O)Gebal, (P)Ammon, and (Q)Amalek,
(R)Philistia with the inhabitants of (S)Tyre;
8 (T)Assyria also has joined them;
They have become [f]a help to the (U)children of Lot. Selah
9 Deal with them (V)as with Midian,
As (W)with Sisera and Jabin at the river of Kishon,
10 Who were destroyed at En-dor,
Who (X)became like dung for the ground.
11 Make their nobles like (Y)Oreb and Zeeb,
And all their leaders like (Z)Zebah and Zalmunna,
12 Who said, “(AA)Let’s possess for ourselves
The (AB)pastures of God.”
13 My God, make them like the [g](AC)whirling dust,
Like (AD)chaff before the wind.
14 Like (AE)fire that burns the forest,
And like a flame that (AF)sets the mountains on fire,
15 So pursue them (AG)with Your heavy gale,
And terrify them with Your storm.
16 (AH)Fill their faces with dishonor,
So that they will seek Your name, Lord.
17 May they be (AI)ashamed and dismayed forever,
And may they be humiliated and perish,
18 So that they will (AJ)know that (AK)You alone, whose name is the Lord,
Are the (AL)Most High over all the earth.

Psalm 83[a]
A song. A psalm of Asaph.
1 O God, do not remain silent;(A)
do not turn a deaf ear,
do not stand aloof, O God.
2 See how your enemies growl,(B)
how your foes rear their heads.(C)
3 With cunning they conspire(D) against your people;
they plot against those you cherish.(E)
4 “Come,” they say, “let us destroy(F) them as a nation,(G)
so that Israel’s name is remembered(H) no more.”
5 With one mind they plot together;(I)
they form an alliance against you—
6 the tents of Edom(J) and the Ishmaelites,
of Moab(K) and the Hagrites,(L)
7 Byblos,(M) Ammon(N) and Amalek,(O)
Philistia,(P) with the people of Tyre.(Q)
8 Even Assyria(R) has joined them
to reinforce Lot’s descendants.[b](S)
9 Do to them as you did to Midian,(T)
as you did to Sisera(U) and Jabin(V) at the river Kishon,(W)
10 who perished at Endor(X)
and became like dung(Y) on the ground.
11 Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb,(Z)
all their princes like Zebah and Zalmunna,(AA)
12 who said, “Let us take possession(AB)
of the pasturelands of God.”

Hjälp mot Guds folks fiender
83 En sång, en psalm av Asaf.
2 (A) Gud, var inte tyst,
var inte stilla och stum, Gud!
3 Se, dina fiender larmar
och de som hatar dig
höjer sina huvuden.
4 (B) De smider listiga planer
mot ditt folk,
de rådslår mot dem du beskyddar,
5 de säger: "Kom,
vi utrotar dem som folk
så att ingen mer minns
Israels namn!"
6 Enigt rådslår de med varandra,
de sluter förbund mot dig:
7 (C) Edoms tält och ismaeliterna,[a]
Moab och hagariterna,
8 Gebal, Ammon och Amalek,
filisteerna och Tyrus invånare.
9 (D) Även Assur ansluter sig till dem,
han lånar sin arm åt Lots barn. Sela
10 (E) Gör med dem som med Midjan,
som med Sisera och Jabin[b]
vid Kishons bäck
11 när de förgjordes vid En-Dor
och blev till gödsel på marken.
12 (F) Låt det gå deras stormän
som Oreb och Seeb,
och alla deras furstar
som Seba och Salmunna,
13 (G) eftersom de säger:
"Vi ska ta över Guds betesmarker!"
14 (H) Min Gud,
låt dem bli som virvlande löv,
som agnar för vinden!
15 (I) Som elden slukar skog
och lågan sveder berg,
16 så ska du jaga dem
med din storm
och skräckslå dem
med ditt oväder.
