Psalm 83In Hebrew texts 83:1-18 is numbered 83:2-19.
A song. A psalm of Asaph.
1O God, do not remain silent;
do not turn a deaf ear,
do not stand aloof, O God.
2See how your enemies growl,
how your foes rear their heads.
3With cunning they conspire against your people;
they plot against those you cherish.
4“Come,” they say, “let us destroy them as a nation,
so that Israel’s name is remembered no more.”
5With one mind they plot together;
they form an alliance against you—
6the tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites,
of Moab and the Hagrites,
7Byblos, Ammon and Amalek,
Philistia, with the people of Tyre.
8Even Assyria has joined them
to reinforce Lot’s descendants.83:8 The Hebrew has Selah (a word of uncertain meaning) here.
9Do to them as you did to Midian,
as you did to Sisera and Jabin at the river Kishon,
10who perished at Endor
and became like dung on the ground.
11Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb,
all their princes like Zebah and Zalmunna,
12who said, “Let us take possession
of the pasturelands of God.”
13Make them like tumbleweed, my God,
like chaff before the wind.
14As fire consumes the forest
or a flame sets the mountains ablaze,
15so pursue them with your tempest
and terrify them with your storm.
16Cover their faces with shame, Lord,
so that they will seek your name.
17May they ever be ashamed and dismayed;
may they perish in disgrace.
18Let them know that you, whose name is the Lord—
that you alone are the Most High over all the earth.
Salmo 8383 Salmo 83 Ang unang mga salita sa Hebreo: Ang awit na isinulat ni Asaf.
Ang Masasamang Bansa
1O Dios, huwag kayong manahimik.
Kumilos po kayo!
2Masdan ang inyong mga kaaway,
maingay silang sumasalakay at ipinagyayabang na mananalo sila.
3Nagbabalak sila ng masama laban sa inyong mga mamamayan na inyong kinakalinga.
4Sinabi nila, “Halikayo, wasakin natin ang bansang Israel upang makalimutan na siya magpakailanman.”
5At nagkasundo sila sa masamang plano nila.
Gumawa sila ng kasunduan laban sa inyo.
6Sila ay mga taga-Edom, mga Ishmaelita, mga taga-Moab, mga Hagreo,
7mga taga-Gebal, taga-Ammon, taga-Amalek, mga taga-Filistia at mga taga-Tyre.
8Kumampi rin sa kanila ang Asiria, isang bansang malakas na kakampi ng lahi ni Lot.83:8 lahi ni Lot: Maaaring ang mga taga-Moab at Ammon.
9Talunin nʼyo sila Panginoon,
katulad ng ginawa nʼyo sa mga Midianita at kina Sisera at Jabin doon sa Lambak ng Kishon.
10Namatay sila sa Endor at ang mga bangkay nilaʼy nabulok at naging pataba sa lupa.
11Patayin nʼyo ang mga pinuno nila katulad ng ginawa ninyo kina Oreb at Zeeb at kina Zeba at Zalmuna.
12Sinabi nila, “Agawin natin ang lupain ng Dios.”
13O Dios ko, ikalat nʼyo sila na parang alikabok o ipa na nililipad ng hangin.
14-15Tulad ng apoy na tumutupok sa mga puno sa kagubatan at kabundukan,
habulin nʼyo sila ng inyong bagyo at takutin ng malalakas na hangin.
16Hiyain nʼyo sila Panginoon hanggang sa matuto silang lumapit sa inyo.
17Sana nga ay mapahiya at matakot sila habang buhay.
Mamatay sana sila sa kahihiyan.
18Para malaman nilang kayo, Panginoon, ang tanging Kataas-taasang Dios sa buong mundo.
