Psalm 83
English Standard Version Anglicised
O God, Do Not Keep Silence
A Song. A Psalm of (A)Asaph.
83 O God, do not keep silence;
(B)do not hold your peace or be still, O God!
2 For behold, your enemies (C)make an uproar;
those who hate you have (D)raised their heads.
3 They lay (E)crafty plans against your people;
they consult together against your (F)treasured ones.
4 They say, “Come, (G)let us wipe them out as a nation;
let the name of Israel be remembered no more!”
5 For they conspire with one accord;
against you they make a covenant—
6 the tents of (H)Edom and (I)the Ishmaelites,
(J)Moab and (K)the Hagrites,
7 (L)Gebal and (M)Ammon and (N)Amalek,
(O)Philistia with the inhabitants of (P)Tyre;
8 (Q)Asshur also has joined them;
they are the strong arm of (R)the children of Lot. Selah
9 Do to them as you did to (S)Midian,
as to (T)Sisera and Jabin at (U)the river Kishon,
10 who were destroyed at (V)En-dor,
who became (W)dung for the ground.
11 Make their nobles like (X)Oreb and Zeeb,
all their princes like (Y)Zebah and Zalmunna,
12 who said, (Z)“Let us take possession for ourselves
of the pastures of God.”
13 O my God, make them like (AA)whirling dust,[a]
like (AB)chaff before the wind.
14 As (AC)fire consumes the forest,
as the flame (AD)sets the mountains ablaze,
15 so may you pursue them (AE)with your tempest
and terrify them with your hurricane!
16 (AF)Fill their faces with shame,
that they may seek your name, O Lord.
17 Let them be (AG)put to shame and dismayed for ever;
let them perish in disgrace,
18 that they may (AH)know that you alone,
(AI)whose name is the Lord,
are (AJ)the Most High over all the earth.

1 O God, do not remain silent;(A)
do not turn a deaf ear,

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.
