Prayer Psalm 83


          

Baruch Ata, YHVH, Elohey Yisrael, Avi.

(Bless You, YHVH - Elohim of Israel, my Father)

Behold, YHVH – Elohey Yisrael, Your enemies make a tumult; and those who hate You have lifted up their head: the tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites, Moav and the Hagrites, Gebal, Ammon, and Amalek, P’leshet (Philistia) with the inhabitants of Tzor (Tyre); Ashur (Assyria) also has joined with them.  They are helping the children of Lot.  They have taken crafty counsel against us, Your people Yisrael, and are consulting together against us, Your hidden ones.  For they are consulting together with one consent, they have formed a confederacy against You. They have said, "Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation, that the name of Yisrael may be remembered no more."

O YHVH - Elohey Tzva’ot (God of the Armies), do not keep silent, do not hold Your peace and do not be still, O Elohey Avraham, Yitzchak and Ya’acov (God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob).  Deal with them as with Mid’yan, as with Sis’ra, as with Yavin (Jabin) at the brook of Kishon, who perished at Ein Dor, and who became as refuse on the earth.   Make their nobles like Orev (Oreb), and like Ze’ev (Zeev); yes, all their princes like Zevach (Zebah) and Tzalmunna (Zalmunna), who said, "Let us take for ourselves the pastures of Elohim for a possession."

O Elohi (my God), make them like the whirling dust; like the chaff before the wind!  Just as the fire burns the woods, and as the flame sets the mountains on fire, so pursue them with Your tempest and frighten them with Your storm.  Fill their faces with shame, that they may seek Your name, YHVH - Elohey Yeshua’teynu (God of our Salvation).  Let them be confounded and dismayed forever.  Yes, let them be put to shame and perish, that they may know that You, Elohey Yisrael (God of Israel), Who alone is YHVH - Ribon Olam (Sovereign of the Universe), El Elyon (God Most High), over all the earth.

Hallelu-Yah!!!  For You, YHVH, are Elohim.  You are Elohey Yisrael, Elohey Avraham, Yitzchak and Ya’acov.  Avi the Almighty reigns!
