Psaumes 83.5
New International Version

Prière contre les ennemis d’Israël

¹ O God, do not remain silent;
do not turn a deaf ear,
do not stand aloof, O God.

² See how your enemies growl,
how your foes rear their heads.

³ With 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.”

⁵ With one mind they plot together;
they form an alliance against you —

⁶ the tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites,
of Moab and the Hagrites,

⁷ Byblos, Ammon and Amalek,
Philistia, with the people of Tyre.

⁸ Even Assyria has joined them
to reinforce Lot’s descendants.

⁹ Do to them as you did to Midian,
as you did to Sisera and Jabin at the river Kishon,

¹⁰ who perished at Endor
and became like dung on the ground.

¹¹ Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb,
all their princes like Zebah and Zalmunna,

¹² who said, “Let us take possession
of the pasturelands of God.”

¹³ Make them like tumbleweed, my God,
like chaff before the wind.

¹⁴ As fire consumes the forest
or a flame sets the mountains ablaze,

¹⁵ so pursue them with your tempest
and terrify them with your storm.

¹⁶ Cover their faces with shame, Lord,
so that they will seek your name.

¹⁷ May they ever be ashamed and dismayed;
may they perish in disgrace.

¹⁸ Let them know that you, whose name is the Lord —
that you alone are the Most High over all the earth.
