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.

^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.

¹⁴ And Hashem said unto Moshe, the lev Pharaoh is hardened, he refuseth to let the people go.

¹⁵ Get thee unto Pharaoh in the boker; hinei, he goeth out unto the mayim; and thou shalt stand by the bank of the Nile to meet him; and the matteh which was turned to a nachash shalt thou take in thine yad.

¹⁶ And thou shalt say unto him, Hashem Elohei HaIvrim hath sent me unto thee, saying, Let My people go, that they may serve Me in the midbar: and, hinei, hitherto thou wouldest not hear.

¹⁷ Thus saith Hashem, In this thou shalt know that I am Hashem: hinei, I will strike with the matteh that is in Mine yad upon the mayim which are in the Nile, and they shall be turned to dahm.

¹⁸ And the dag (fish) that is in the Nile shall die, and the Nile shall stink; and the Egyptians shall loathe to drink of the mayim of the Nile.

¹⁹ And Hashem spoke unto Moshe, Say unto Aharon, Take thy matteh, and stretch out thine yad upon the mayim of Mitzrayim, upon their streams, upon their rivers, and upon their ponds, and upon all their mikveh of mayim, that they may become dahm; and that there may be dahm throughout kol Eretz Mitzrayim, both in vessels of wood, and in vessels of stone.

²⁰ And Moshe and Aharon did so, as Hashem commanded; and he lifted up the matteh, and smote the waters that were in the Nile, in the sight of Pharaoh, and in the sight of his avadim; and all the mayim that were in the Nile were turned to dahm.

²¹ And the dag (fish) that was in the Nile died; and the Nile stank, and the Egyptians could not drink of the mayim of the Nile; and there was dahm throughout kol Eretz Mitzrayim.

²² And the kharetumei Mitzrayim did so with their secret lore: and lev Pharaoh was hardened, neither did he pay heed unto them; as Hashem had said.

²³ And Pharaoh turned and went into his bais, neither did he set his mind to this also.

²⁴ And all the Egyptians dug around the Nile for mayim to drink; they could not drink of the mayim of the Nile.

²⁵ And seven days came and went, after Hashem had struck the Nile.

²² Then a man, blind and mute, who was possessed by shedim, was brought to Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, and he brought refuah to him, so that the mute man was able to speak and to see.

²³ And all the multitudes were amazed and they were saying, Surely this is not the Ben Dovid [Moshiach], is he?

²⁴ But, having heard this, the Perushim said, This one does not cast out shedim except by Baal-zibbul, the Sar HaShedim (the Prince of Demons).

²⁵ But having daas of their thoughts, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said to them, Every malchut that is divided against itself is made desolate, and every ir (city) and bais (house) that is divided against itself will not stand.

²⁶ And if Hasatan casts out Hasatan, he is divided against himself. How, therefore, will the Malchut Hasatan stand?

²⁷ And if by Baal-zibbul I cast out the shedim, by whom do your banim (sons) cast them out? Therefore, they will be your shofetim (judges).

²⁸ But if by the Ruach Hakodesh I [Moshiach] cast out the shedim, then upon you the Malchut Hashem has arrived.

²⁹ Or how is someone able to enter the Bayit HaGibbor and confiscate his furnishings unless he binds the Gibbor first. Then he will plunder the Bayit HaGibbor.

³⁰ The one not with me [Moshiach] is against me [anti-Moshiach]. And the one not gathering with me scatters.

³¹ Therefore, I say to you, every chet (sin) and gidduf (blasphemy) will be forgiven men, but whoever commits Chillul Hashem against the Ruach Hakodesh will not be forgiven.

³² And whoever speaks a word against the Ben HaAdam [Moshiach] will be granted selicha (forgiveness), but whoever speaks against the Ruach Hakodesh, selicha will not be granted him either in the Olam Hazeh or in the Olam Habah.
