83:1  (Shir. Mizmor of Asaph). Keep not Thou silent, O Elohim; hold not Thy peace, and be not still, O El (G-d).
83:2  For, hinei, Thine oyevim are in tumult; and they that hate Thee have lifted up the rosh.
83:3  They lay out a crafty conspiracy against Amecha (Thy people), and plot against Tzefunecha (Thy sheltered, protected, hidden ones).
83:4  They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from being a goy (nation); that the shem Yisroel may be no more remembered.
83:5  For they have plotted together with one lev; they cut a brit against Thee;
83:6  The ohalim Edom, and the Yishm’elim; of Moav, and the Hagerim;
83:7  Geval, and Ammon, and Amalek; Peleshet (Philistia) with the inhabitants of Tzor;
83:8  Assyria also is joined with them; they are the zero’a (strong arm) of the Bnei Lot. Selah.
83:9  Do unto them as unto Midyan; as to Sisra, as to Yavin, at the Wadi Kishon [see Shofetim chp 4-8];
83:10  Which became shmad at Ein-Dor; they became like domen (dung, fertilizer) for ha’adamah.
83:11  Make their nobles like Orev, and like Ze’ev; yes, all their princes like Zevach, and like Tzalmunna;
83:12  Who said, Let us take possession for ourselves of the pasturelands of Elohim.
83:13  O Elohai, make them like galgal (tumbleweed); like chaff before the ruach (wind).
83:14  As the eish consumeth the forest, and as the flame setteth ablaze harim;
83:15  So pursue them with Thy sa’ar (tempest, storm), and make them afraid with Thy storm.
83:16  Fill their faces with shame; that they may seek Shimcha, Hashem.
83:17  Let them be put to shame and dismayed adei ad (forever); yes, let them perish in disgrace;
83:18  Let them have da’as that Thou alone, Shimcha Hashem, art Elyon al kol HaAretz.
