1Ein Lied. Ein Psalm. Von Asaf. (Ps 50,1)2Gott, schweige nicht[1]! Verstumme nicht und sei nicht stille, Gott! (Ps 109,1)3Denn siehe, deine Feinde toben, und die dich hassen, erheben das Haupt. (Ps 2,1)4Gegen dein Volk planen sie listige Anschläge, und sie beraten sich gegen die, die bei dir geborgen sind.5Sie sprechen: Kommt und lasst uns sie als Nation[2] vertilgen, dass nicht mehr gedacht werde des Namens Israel! (Est 3,6; Ps 74,8; Ps 124,3)6Denn sie haben sich beraten mit einmütigem Herzen, sie haben einen Bund gegen dich geschlossen: (Ps 2,2)7Die Zelte Edoms und die Ismaeliter, Moab und die Hageriter,8Gebal und Ammon und Amalek, Philistäa samt den Bewohnern von Tyrus.9Auch Assur hat sich ihnen angeschlossen. Sie sind zu einem Arm geworden den Söhnen Lots. // (1Mo 19,37)10Tu ihnen wie Midian, wie Sisera, wie Jabin am Bach Kischon! (Ri 4,15; Ri 5,21; Ri 7,25)11Sie wurden vernichtet zu En-Dor, sie wurden dem Erdboden zum Dünger! (Jer 8,2)12Mache sie, ihre Edlen, wie Oreb und wie Seeb, und wie Sebach und wie Zalmunna alle ihre Fürsten! (Ri 7,25; Ri 8,21)13Die gesagt haben: Lasst uns in Besitz nehmen die Weideplätze Gottes! (Hes 36,2)14Mein Gott, mache sie gleich der Raddistel[3], wie Spreu vor dem Wind! (Hi 21,18; Jes 17,13)15Wie Feuer den Wald verbrennt und wie eine Flamme die Berge entzündet, (Hes 21,3)16so verfolge sie mit deinem Wetter, und mit deinem Sturmwind schrecke sie! (Hi 27,20)17Bedecke[4] ihr Gesicht mit Schande, damit sie deinen Namen, HERR, suchen!18Lass sie beschämt und erschreckt sein für immer, mit Scham bedeckt sein und umkommen, (Ps 35,4)19damit sie erkennen, dass du allein – HERR ist ⟨ja⟩ dein Name! – der Höchste bist über die ganze Erde! (2Mo 6,2; Ps 59,14; Ps 97,9; Ps 138,6; Jes 37,16; Jes 42,8; Dan 4,21)
1A Song. A Psalm of Asaph. O God, do not keep silence; do not hold your peace or be still, O God! (Ps 28,1; Ps 50,1)2For behold, your enemies make an uproar; those who hate you have raised their heads. (Ri 8,28; Ps 2,1)3They lay crafty plans against your people; they consult together against your treasured ones. (Neh 4,8; Ps 27,5; Ps 31,20)4They say, “Come, let us wipe them out as a nation; let the name of Israel be remembered no more!” (Est 3,6; Ps 74,8; Jer 48,2)5For they conspire with one accord; against you they make a covenant—6the tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites, Moab and the Hagrites, (1Mo 25,12; 1Chr 5,10; 2Chr 20,10; Ps 137,7)7Gebal and Ammon and Amalek, Philistia with the inhabitants of Tyre; (Jos 13,5; 1Sam 4,1; 1Sam 15,2; Ps 83,6; Hes 27,3; Am 1,6; Am 1,9)8Asshur also has joined them; they are the strong arm of the children of Lot. (5Mo 2,9; 5Mo 2,19; 2Kön 15,19)9Do to them as you did to Midian, as to Sisera and Jabin at the river Kishon, (4Mo 31,7; Ri 4,7; Ri 4,15; Ri 4,24; Ri 5,21; Jes 9,4)10who were destroyed at En-dor, who became dung for the ground. (Jos 17,11; 1Sam 28,7; Hi 20,7)11Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb, all their princes like Zebah and Zalmunna, (Ri 7,25; Ri 8,3; Ri 8,5)12who said, “Let us take possession for ourselves of the pastures of God.” (2Chr 20,11)13O my God, make them like whirling dust,[1] like chaff before the wind. (Hi 13,25; Hi 21,18; Ps 1,4; Jes 17,13)14As fire consumes the forest, as the flame sets the mountains ablaze, (5Mo 32,22; Jes 9,18; Jes 10,16)15so may you pursue them with your tempest and terrify them with your hurricane! (Hi 9,17)16Fill their faces with shame, that they may seek your name, O Lord. (Hi 10,15; Ps 35,4; Ps 35,26)17Let them be put to shame and dismayed forever; let them perish in disgrace, (Ps 35,4)18that they may know that you alone, whose name is the Lord, are the Most High over all the earth. (2Mo 6,3; Ps 9,2; Ps 18,13; Ps 59,13; Ps 97,9)
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.[1]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 pasture-lands of God.’13Make them like tumble-weed, 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.
1God, don’t remain silent. Don’t refuse to listen. Do something, God.2See how your enemies are growling like dogs. See how they are rising up against you.3They make clever plans against your people. They make evil plans against those you love.4‘Come’, they say. ‘Let’s destroy that whole nation. Then the name of Israel won’t be remembered anymore.’5All of them agree on the evil plans they have made. They join forces against you.6Their forces include the people of Edom, Ishmael, Moab and Hagar.7They also include the people of Byblos, Ammon, Amalek, Philistia and Tyre.8Even Assyria has joined them to give strength to the people of Moab and Ammon.9Do to them what you did to the people of Midian. Do to them what you did to Sisera and Jabin at the River Kishon.10Sisera and Jabin died near the town of Endor. Their bodies were left on the ground like human waste.11Do to the nobles of your enemies what you did to Oreb and Zeeb. Do to all their princes what you did to Zebah and Zalmunna.12They said, ‘Let’s take over the grasslands that belong to God.’13My God, make them like straw that the wind blows away. Make them like tumbleweed.14Destroy them as fire burns up a forest. Destroy them as a flame sets mountains on fire.15Chase them with your mighty winds. Terrify them with your storm.16LORD, put them to shame so that they will seek you.17May they always be filled with terror and shame. May they die in dishonour.18May you, the LORD, let your enemies know who you are. You alone are the Most High God over the whole earth.
Psalm 83
King James Version
1A Song or Psalm of Asaph. Keep not thou silence, O God: hold not thy peace, and be not still, O God.2For, lo, thine enemies make a tumult: and they that hate thee have lifted up the head.3They have taken crafty counsel against thy people, and consulted against thy hidden ones.4They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation; that the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance.5For they have consulted together with one consent: they are confederate against thee:6The tabernacles of Edom, and the Ishmaelites; of Moab, and the Hagarenes;7Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek; the Philistines with the inhabitants of Tyre;8Assur also is joined with them: they have holpen the children of Lot. Selah.9Do unto them as unto the Midianites; as to Sisera, as to Jabin, at the brook of Kison:10Which perished at Endor: they became as dung for the earth.11Make their nobles like Oreb, and like Zeeb: yea, all their princes as Zebah, and as Zalmunna:12Who said, Let us take to ourselves the houses of God in possession.13O my God, make them like a wheel; as the stubble before the wind.14As the fire burneth a wood, and as the flame setteth the mountains on fire;15So persecute them with thy tempest, and make them afraid with thy storm.16Fill their faces with shame; that they may seek thy name, O LORD.17Let them be confounded and troubled for ever; yea, let them be put to shame, and perish:18That men may know that thou, whose name alone is JEHOVAH, art the most high over all the earth.
