Psalm 83

O God, call to me, don’t remain silent! Don’t stay quiet, God, or still; because here are Your vicious unrelenting enemies, causing an huge uproar; those who despicably hate You are raising their stiff-necked heads, craftily conspiring against Your Jewish people, consulting together against those You treasure as Your Chosen Ones. They say, “Come, let’s wipe them out as a nation; let the name of Isra’el be remembered no more!” With one mind they plot their schemes; the covenant they have made is against You, to destroy You —the tents of Edom and the Yishma‘elim, Mo’av and the Hagrim, G’val, ‘Amon and ‘Amalek, P’leshet with those living in Tzor; Ashur too is allied with them, to reinforce the descendants of Lot. Do to them as You did to Midyan, to Sisra and Yavin at Vadi Kishon — they were destroyed at ‘Ein-Dor and became manure for the ground. Make their leaders like ‘Orev and Ze’ev, all their princes like Zevach and Tzalmuna, who said, “Let’s take possession of God’s kingdom for ourselves.” My God, make them like whirling dust, like chaff driven by the wind. Like burning hot fire scorching up the forest, like the fire of a red flame that sets the mountains ablaze, drive them away with your threatening thunderstorms and bright electrified lightening, terrify them with your tempest. Fill their faces with shame and hang their guilty heads, so that they will seek your name, HASHEM. Let them be ashamed and fearful forever; yes, let them die 100 deaths, perishing in disgrace. Let them know that You alone, whose name is HASHEM are the Most High over all the earth.
