Psalm 83
Prayer for Judgment on Israel’s Foes
A Song. A Psalm of Asaph.
1 O God, do not keep silent;
do not hold your peace or be still, O God!(A)
2 Even now your enemies are in tumult;
those who hate you have raised their heads.(B)
3 They lay crafty plans against your people;
they consult together against those you protect.(C)
4 They say, “Come, let us wipe them out as a nation;
let the name of Israel be remembered no more.”(D)
5 They conspire with one accord;
against you they make a covenant—(E)
6 the tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites,
Moab and the Hagrites,(F)
7 Gebal and Ammon and Amalek,
Philistia with the inhabitants of Tyre;
8 Assyria also has joined them;
they are the strong arm of the children of Lot. Selah
9 Do to them as you did to Midian,
as to Sisera and Jabin at the Wadi Kishon,(G)
10 who were destroyed at En-dor,
who became dung for the ground.
11 Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb,
all their princes like Zebah and Zalmunna,(H)
12 who said, “Let us take the pastures of God
for our own possession.”(I)
13 O my God, make them like whirling dust,[a]
like chaff before the wind.(J)
14 As fire consumes the forest,
as the flame sets the mountains ablaze,(K)
15 so pursue them with your tempest
and terrify them with your hurricane.(L)
16 Fill their faces with shame,
so that they may seek your name, O Lord.
17 Let them be put to shame and dismayed forever;
let them perish in disgrace.(M)
18 Let them know that you alone,
whose name is the Lord,
are the Most High over all the earth.(N)

Psalm 83
Easy-to-Read Version
One of Asaph’s songs of praise.
83 God, don’t keep quiet!
Don’t close your ears!
Please say something, God.
2 Your enemies are getting ready to do something.
Those who hate you will soon attack.
3 They are making secret plans against your people.
Your enemies are discussing plans against the people you love.
4 They say, “Come, let us destroy them completely.
Then no one will ever again remember the name Israel.”
5 God, they have all joined together.
They have united against you.
6-7 Their army includes the Edomites, Ishmaelites, Moabites, and Hagar’s descendants,
the people of Byblos, Ammon, and Amalek,
the Philistines, and the people of Tyre.
8 Even the Assyrians have joined them.
They have made Lot’s descendants very powerful. Selah
9 God, defeat them just as you defeated Midian.
Do what you did to Sisera and Jabin at the Kishon River.
10 You destroyed the enemy at Endor,
and their bodies rotted on the ground.
11 Punish their leaders as you did Oreb and Zeeb.
Do what you did to Zebah and Zalmunna.
12 They said, “Let’s make this land our own—
these fields of grass that belong to God!”
13 Make them like weeds blown by the wind.
Scatter them the way wind scatters straw.
14 Be like a fire that destroys a forest
or like a flame that sets the hills on fire.
15 Chase them away with your blasts of wind;
frighten them with your storms.
16 Lord, cover them with shame
until they come to you for help.
17 May they be forever ashamed and afraid.
Disgrace and defeat them.
18 Then they will know that your name is Yahweh—
that you alone are the Lord.
They will know that you are God Most High,
ruler over all the earth!

Oración contra enemigos conjurados
Cántico. Salmo de Asaf.
83 Oh Dios, no permanezcas en silencio(A);
no calles(B), oh Dios, ni te quedes quieto.
2 Porque, he aquí, tus enemigos rugen(C),
y los que te aborrecen se han enaltecido[a](D).
3 Hacen planes astutos(E) contra tu pueblo,
y juntos conspiran[b] contra tus protegidos[c](F).
4 Han dicho: Venid, y destruyámoslos(G) como[d] nación,
para que ya no haya memoria del nombre de Israel(H).
5 Porque de corazón han conspirado[e] a una(I);
hacen pacto contra ti:
6 las tiendas de Edom(J) y de los ismaelitas(K),
Moab(L) y los agarenos(M),
7 Gebal(N), Amón(O) y Amalec(P),
Filistea(Q) con los habitantes de Tiro(R);
8 Asiria(S) también se ha unido a ellos;
se han convertido en ayuda[f] para los hijos de Lot(T). (Selah[g])
9 Trátalos como a Madián(U),
como a Sísara, como a Jabín(V) en el torrente Cisón,
10 que fueron destruidos en Endor,
que quedaron como estiércol(W) para la tierra.
11 Pon a sus nobles como a Oreb y Zeeb(X),
y a todos sus príncipes como a Zeba y Zalmuna(Y),
12 que dijeron: apoderémonos(Z)
de los prados de Dios(AA).
13 Oh Dios mío, ponlos como polvo en remolino(AB);
como paja ante el viento(AC).
14 Como fuego que consume el bosque(AD),
y como llama que incendia las montañas(AE),
15 así persíguelos con tu tempestad(AF),
y aterrorízalos con tu torbellino.
16 Cubre[h] sus rostros de ignominia(AG),
para que busquen tu nombre, oh Señor.
17 Sean avergonzados y turbados para siempre(AH);
sean humillados y perezcan,
18 para que sepan que solo tú(AI), que te llamas el Señor,
eres el Altísimo(AJ) sobre toda la tierra.

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.”
