詩篇 83
1 詠【求消滅聯盟的異民】阿撒夫的詩歌。 上主，求您不要一言不發，天主，您們不要靜默無話！
A song, or Psalme committed to Asaph. Keep not thou silence, O God: bee not still, and cease not, O God.
2 因為您的仇敵騷擾狂吼，惱恨您的人都搖頭昂首；
For lo, thine enemies make a tumult: and they that hate thee, haue lifted vp the head.
3 相聚密謀，陷害您的百姓，商議攻擊您保護的人民，
They haue taken craftie counsell against thy people, and haue consulted against thy secret ones.
4 說：大家來，由萬民將要他們驅散，使以色列的名不再被記念。
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.
5 於是，他們心齊謀同，締結盟約，向您進攻，
For they haue consulted together in heart, and haue made a league against thee:
6 即厄東部落及依市瑪耳，又有摩阿布以及哈革爾。
The tabernacles of Edom, and the Ishmaelites, Moab and the Agarims:
7 還有革巴耳、阿孟和阿瑪肋克人，且有培肋舍特人和提洛的居民，
Gebal and Ammon, and Amalech, the Philistims with the inhabitants of Tyrus:
8 亞述人也與他們串通，作了羅特子民的幫兇。
Asshur also is ioyned with them: they haue bene an arme to the children of Lot. (Selah)
9 求你對待他們像對待米德楊人，像在克雄河對待息色辣和雅賓，
Doe thou to them as vnto the Midianites: as to Sisera and as to Iabin at the riuer of Kishon.
10 他們都喪亡於恩多爾，全變成了田裏的糞泥，
They perished at En-dor, and were dung for the earth.
11 使他們的王侯要與敖勒布和東一樣，使他們的將領與巴黑和匝耳慕一樣，
Make them, euen their princes like Oreb and like Zeeb: yea, all their princes like Zebah and like Zalmuna.
12 因為他們都曾如此說過：我們去佔領天主的住所。
Which haue said, Let vs take for our possession the habitations of God.
13 我的天主，求您使他們像旋風捲起的落葉，求您使他們像狂風吹起的碎楷，
O my God, make them like vnto a wheele, and as the stubble before the winde.
14 好像被火燐焚燒的樹林，又似被火燄燃燒的山陵；
As the fire burneth the forest, and as the flame setteth the mountaines on fire:
15 求您也這樣以您的颶風驅散他們，以您的暴雨驚嚇他們。
So persecute them with thy tempest, and make them afraide with thy storme.
16 上主，求您羞辱他們的面容，是為叫他們尋求您的聖名；
Fill their faces with shame, that they may seeke thy Name, O Lord.
17 使他們永遠受辱恐慌，叫他們個個蒙羞喪亡。
Let them be confounded and troubled for euer: yea, let them be put to shame and perish,
18 從此，認識您的名號是雅威，惟有您在普天下至尊無對。
That they may knowe that thou, which art called Iehouah, art alone, euen the most High ouer all the earth.
