A Song, a Psalm of Asaph.
2אֱלֹהִ֥ים אַל־דֳּמִי־לָ֑ךְ אַל־תֶּחֱרַ֖שׁ וְאַל־תִּשְׁקֹ֣ט אֵֽל׃
elohim al-domi-lakh al-techerash ve'al-tishkot el
O God, keep not Thou silence; Hold not Thy peace, and be not still, O God.
3כִּֽי־הִנֵּ֣ה א֭וֹיְבֶיךָ יֶהֱמָי֑וּן וּ֝מְשַׂנְאֶ֗יךָ נָ֣שְׂאוּ רֹֽאשׁ׃
ki-hinne oyvekha yehemayun umesan'ekha nasu rosh
For, lo, Thine enemies are in an uproar; And they that hate Thee have lifted up the head.
4עַֽל־עַ֭מְּךָ יַעֲרִ֣ימוּ ס֑וֹד וְ֝יִתְיָעֲצ֗וּ עַל־צְפוּנֶֽיךָ׃
al-ammekha ya'arimu sod veyitya'atzu al-tzefunekha
They hold crafty converse against Thy people, And take counsel against Thy treasured ones.
5אָמְר֗וּ לְ֭כוּ וְנַכְחִידֵ֣ם מִגּ֑וֹי וְלֹֽא־יִזָּכֵ֖ר שֵֽׁם־יִשְׂרָאֵ֣ל עֽוֹד׃
amru lekhu venakhchidem miggoy velo-yizzakher shem-yisra'el od
They have said: 'Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation; That the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance.'
6כִּ֤י נוֹעֲצ֣וּ לֵ֣ב יַחְדָּ֑ו עָ֝לֶ֗יךָ בְּרִ֣ית יִכְרֹֽתוּ׃
ki no'atzu lev yachdav alekha berit yikhrotu
For they have consulted together with one consent; Against Thee do they make a covenant;
7אָהֳלֵ֣י אֱ֭דוֹם וְיִשְׁמְעֵאלִ֗ים מוֹאָ֥ב וְהַגְרִֽים׃
ahole edom veyishme'elim mo'av vehagrim
The tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites; Moab, and the Hagrites;
8גְּבָ֣ל וְ֭עַמּוֹן וַעֲמָלֵ֑ק פְּ֝לֶ֗שֶׁת עִם־יֹ֥שְׁבֵי צֽוֹר׃
geval ve'ammon va'amalek peleshet im-yoshve tzor
Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek; Philistia with the inhabitants of Tyre;
9גַּם־אַ֭שּׁוּר נִלְוָ֣ה עִמָּ֑ם הָ֤י֥וּ זְר֖וֹעַ לִבְנֵי־ל֣וֹט סֶֽלָה׃
gam-ashur nilva immam hayu zeroa livne-lot sela
Assyria also is joined with them; They have been an arm to the children of Lot. Selah
10עֲשֵֽׂה־לָהֶ֥ם כְּמִדְיָ֑ן כְּֽסִֽיסְרָ֥א כְ֝יָבִ֗ין בְּנַ֣חַל קִישֽׁוֹן׃
ase-lahem kemidyan kesisra kheyavin benachal kishon
Do Thou unto them as unto Midian; As to Sisera, as to Jabin, at the brook Kishon;
11נִשְׁמְד֥וּ בְֽעֵין־דֹּ֑אר הָ֥יוּ דֹּ֝֗מֶן לָאֲדָמָֽה׃
nishmedu ve'en-dor hayu domen la'adama
Who were destroyed at En-dor; They became as dung for the earth.
12שִׁיתֵ֣מוֹ נְ֭דִיבֵמוֹ כְּעֹרֵ֣ב וְכִזְאֵ֑ב וּֽכְזֶ֥בַח וּ֝כְצַלְמֻנָּ֗ע כָּל־נְסִיכֵֽמוֹ׃
shitemo nedivemo ke'orev vekhiz'ev ukhezevach ukhetzalmunna' kal-nesikhemo
Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb, And like Zebah and Zalmunna all their princes;
13אֲשֶׁ֣ר אָ֭מְרוּ נִ֣ירֲשָׁה לָּ֑נוּ אֵ֝֗ת נְא֣וֹת אֱלֹהִֽים׃
asher amru nirasha lanu et neot elohim
Who said: 'Let us take to ourselves in possession The habitations of God.'
14אֱֽלֹהַ֗י שִׁיתֵ֥מוֹ כַגַּלְגַּ֑ל כְּ֝קַ֗שׁ לִפְנֵי־רֽוּחַ׃
elohay shitemo khaggalgal kekash lifne-ruach
O my God, make them like the whirling dust; As stubble before the wind.
15כְּאֵ֥שׁ תִּבְעַר־יָ֑עַר וּ֝כְלֶהָבָ֗ה תְּלַהֵ֥ט הָרִֽים׃
ke'esh tiv'ar-ya'ar ukhelehava telahet harim
As the fire that burneth the forest, And as the flame that setteth the mountains ablaze;
16כֵּ֭ן תִּרְדְּפֵ֣ם בְּסַעֲרֶ֑ךָ וּבְסוּפָתְךָ֥ תְבַהֲלֵֽם׃
ken tirdefem besa'arekha uvesufatkha tevahalem
So pursue them with Thy tempest, And affright them with Thy storm.
17מַלֵּ֣א פְנֵיהֶ֣ם קָל֑וֹן וִֽיבַקְשׁ֖וּ שִׁמְךָ֣ יְהוָֽה׃
malle fenehem kalon vivakshu shimkha ADONAI
Fill their faces with shame; That they may seek Thy name, O LORD.
18יֵבֹ֖שׁוּ וְיִבָּהֲל֥וּ עֲדֵי־עַ֗ד וְֽיַחְפְּר֥וּ וְיֹאבֵֽדוּ׃
yevoshu veyibbahalu ade-ad veyachperu veyovedu
Let them be ashamed and affrighted for ever; Yea, let them be abashed and perish;
19וְֽיֵדְע֗וּ כִּֽי־אַתָּ֬ה שִׁמְךָ֣ יְהוָ֣ה לְבַדֶּ֑ךָ עֶ֝לְי֗וֹן עַל־כָּל־הָאָֽרֶץ׃
veyed'u ki-atta shimkha ADONAI levaddekha elyon al-kal-ha'aretz
That they may know that it is Thou alone whose name is the LORD, The Most High over all the earth.
