المَزامِير 83

١ 1 تَسْبِيحَةٌ: مَزْمُورٌ لآسَافَ يَا اللهُ لَا تَصْمُتْ. لَا تَسْكُتْ وَلَا تَهْدَأْ يَا اللهُ.

A song, or Psalme committed to Asaph. Keep not thou silence, O God: bee not still, and cease not, O God.

٢ 2 هُوَذا أَعْدَاؤُكَ ثَائِرُونَ، وَمُبْغِضُوكَ يَشْمَخُونَ بِرُؤُوسِهِمْ.

For lo, thine enemies make a tumult: and they that hate thee, haue lifted vp the head.

٣ 3 يَتَآمَرُونَ بِالْمَكْرِ عَلَى شَعْبِكَ، وَيَكِيدُونَ لِلإِيقَاعِ بِمَنْ تَحْمِيهِمْ.

They haue taken craftie counsell against thy people, and haue consulted against thy secret ones.

٤ 4 يَقُولُونَ: «هَلُمَّ نَسْتَأْصِلُهُمْ مِنْ بَيْنِ الأُمَمِ، فَلَا يُذْكَرَ اسْمُ إِسْرَائِيلَ فِيمَا بَعْدُ».

They haue said, Come and let vs cut them off from being a nation: and let the name of Israel be no more in remembrance.

٥ 5 فَإِنَّهُمْ قَدْ تَآمَرُوا مَعاً بِقَلْبٍ وَاحِدٍ، وَعَقَدُوا حِلْفاً ضِدَّكَ.

For they haue consulted together in heart, and haue made a league against thee:

٦ 6 عَشَائِرُ أَدُومَ وَبَنُو إِسْمَاعِيلَ، نَسْلُ مُوآبَ وَبَنُو هَاجَرَ.

The tabernacles of Edom, and the Ishmaelites, Moab and the Agarims:

٧ 7 جِبَالُ وَعَمُّونُ وَعَمَالِيقُ، الفَلَسْطِينِيُّونَ وَأَهْلُ صُورَ،

Gebal and Ammon, and Amalech, the Philistims with the inhabitants of Tyrus:

٨ 8 وَقَوْمُ أَشُّورَ أَيْضاً انْضَمُّوا إِلَيْهِمْ، صَارُوا عَوْناً لِبَنِي لُوطٍ.

Asshur also is ioyned with them: they haue bene an arme to the children of Lot. (Selah)

٩ 9 افْعَلْ بِهِمْ كَمَا فَعَلْتَ بِمِدْيَانَ وَسِيسَرَا وَيَابِينَ فِي نَهْرِ قِيشُونَ.

Doe thou to them as vnto the Midianites: as to Sisera and as to Iabin at the riuer of Kishon.

١٠ 10 بَادُوا فِي عَيْنِ دُورٍ، وصَارُوا زِبْلاً للأَرْضِ.

They perished at En-dor, and were dung for the earth.

١١ 11 اجْعَلْ مَصِيرَ أَشْرَافِهِمْ كَمَصِيرِ غُرَابٍ وَذِئْبٍ، وَجَمِيعَ أُمَرَائِهِمْ مِثْلَ زَبَحَ وَصَلْمُنَّاعَ،

Make them, euen their princes like Oreb and like Zeeb: yea, all their princes like Zebah and like Zalmuna.

١٢ 12 الَّذِينَ قَالُوا: لِنَسْتَوْلِ عَلَى مَسَاكِنِ اللهِ.

Which haue said, Let vs take for our possession the habitations of God.

١٣ 13 يَا إِلَهِي، بَدِّدْهُمْ كَالْقَشِّ الْمُتَطَايِرِ، وَكَالتِّبْنِ فِي مَهَبِّ الرِّيحِ.

O my God, make them like vnto a wheele, and as the stubble before the winde.

١٤ 14 كَمَا تَحْرِقُ النَّارُ الْغَابَةَ، وَكَمَا يُشْعِلُ لَهِيبُهَا الْجِبَالَ،

As the fire burneth the forest, and as the flame setteth the mountaines on fire:

١٥ 15 هَكَذَا طَارِدْهُمْ بِعَاصِفَتِكَ، وَأَفْزِعْهُمْ بِزَوْبَعَتِكَ.

So persecute them with thy tempest, and make them afraide with thy storme.

١٦ 16 امْلأْ وُجُوهَهُمْ خِزْياً فَيَلْتَمِسُوا اسْمَكَ يَا رَبُّ.

Fill their faces with shame, that they may seeke thy Name, O Lord.

١٧ 17 لِيَحُلَّ بِهِمِ الْعَارُ وَالرُّعْبُ إِلَى الأَبَدِ، وَلْيَخْزَوْا وَيَهْلِكُوا.

Let them be confounded and troubled for euer: yea, let them be put to shame and perish,

١٨ 18 وَيَعْلَمُوا أَنَّكَ أَنْتَ وَحْدَكَ، يَهْوَه الْعَلِيُّ عَلَى الأَرْضِ كُلِّهَا.

That they may knowe that thou, which art called Iehouah, art alone, euen the most High ouer all the earth.
