1 Cántico. Salmo de Asaf. ¡Oh Dios, no te quedes silencioso e inactivo!

1 A song. A Psalm by Asaph. God, don’t keep silent. Don’t keep silent, and don’t be still, God.

2 ¿No escuchas el tumulto de tus enemigos? ¿No ves lo que hacen estos hombres altivos que te detestan?

2 For, behold, your enemies are stirred up. Those who hate you have lifted up their heads.

3 Llenos de astucia hacen planes contra aquellos a quienes tú amas.

3 They conspire with cunning against your people. They plot against your cherished ones.

4 Y dicen: «¡Vengan, destruyamos su nación! ¡Que el nombre de Israel no vuelva a recordarse!».

4 “Come,” they say, “let’s destroy them as a nation, that the name of Israel may be remembered no more.”

5 Como un solo hombre se confabulaban, han hecho un pacto contra ti.

5 For they have conspired together with one mind. They form an alliance against you.

6 Se trata de los ismaelitas, los edomitas, los moabitas y los agarenos;

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

7 de los pueblos de las tierras de Gebal, Amón, Amalec, Filistea y Tiro.

7 Gebal, Ammon, and Amalek; Philistia with the inhabitants of Tyre;

8 Asiria se ha unido con ellos también, y está aliada con los descendientes de Lot.

8 Assyria also is joined with them. They have helped the children of Lot. Selah.

9 Hazles lo que una vez hiciste a Madián, o lo que hiciste a Sísara y Jabín en el río Cisón,

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

10 y lo que hiciste en Endor, que sus cuerpos se quedaron pudriéndose hasta que fertilizaron la tierra.

10 who perished at Endor, who became as dung for the earth.

11 Haz que sus poderosos nobles mueran como Oreb y Zeb; que mueran todos sus príncipes como Zeba y Zalmuna,

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

12 quienes dijeron: «Vamos a adueñarnos de estas praderas de Dios».

12 who said, “Let’s take possession of God’s pasture lands.”

13 ¡Oh Dios mío, espárcelos con un soplo como a polvo; como paja ante el viento;

13 My God, make them like tumbleweed, like chaff before the wind.

14 como incendio en el bosque que ruge por el monte.

14 As the fire that burns the forest, as the flame that sets the mountains on fire,

15 Persíguelos con tus tormentas, aterrorízalos con tus tempestades.

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

16 Señor, deshónralos hasta que acepten lo grande de tu nombre.

16 Fill their faces with confusion, that they may seek your name, Yahweh.

17 Que sean siempre puestos en vergüenza, que perezcan humillados.

17 Let them be disappointed and dismayed forever. Yes, let them be confounded and perish;

18 Que sepan que tú eres el Señor, que ese es tu nombre; que sepan que sólo tú eres el Altísimo sobre toda la tierra.

18 that they may know that you alone, whose name is Yahweh, are the Most High over all the earth.

What the Fathers said

Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).

How these were chosen

“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).

Commentary Augustine of Hippo, Expositions on the Psalms (Psalm LXXXII)
This Psalm, like others similarly named, was so entitled either from the name of the man who wrote it, or from the explanation of that same name, so as to refer in meaning to the Synagogue, which Asaph signifies; especially as this is intimated in the first verse. For it begins, "God stood in the synagogue of gods" (ver. 1).

Quotes verse 83:16 Augustine of Hippo, The City of God (Book XIV, Chapters 12–13)
And this is averred by the sacred Psalmist when he says, "Fill their faces with shame, that they may seek Thy name, O Lord;" that is, that they who have pleased themselves in seeking their own glory may be pleased and satisfied with Thee in seeking Thy glory.

Quotes verse 83:3 John of Damascus, An Exact Exposition of the Orthodox Faith (Book III, Chapters XII–XIV)
Sometimes it signifies exhortation: as when the divine apostle says, Now concerning virgins I have no commandment of the Lord; yet I give my judgment: sometimes it means counsel, as when the prophet David says, They have taken crafty counsel against Thy people: sometimes it means a decree, as when we read in Daniel, Concerning whom (or, what) went …
