< 詩篇 83 >

1 亞薩的詩歌。 上帝啊，求你不要靜默！ 上帝啊，求你不要閉口，也不要不作聲！
A Song of a Psalm for Asaph. O God, who shall be compared to you? be not silent, neither be still, O God.
2 因為你的仇敵喧嚷， 恨你的抬起頭來。
For behold, your enemies have made a noise; and they that hate you have lifted up the head.
3 他們同謀奸詐要害你的百姓， 彼此商議要害你所隱藏的人。
Against your people they have craftily imagined a device, and have taken counsel against your saints.
4 他們說：來吧，我們將他們剪滅， 使他們不再成國！ 使以色列的名不再被人記念！
They have said, Come, and let us utterly destroy them out of the nation; and let the name of Israel be remembered no more at all.
5 他們同心商議， 彼此結盟，要抵擋你，
For they have taken counsel together with one consent: they have made a confederacy against you;
6 就是住帳棚的以東人和以實瑪利人， 摩押和夏甲人，
even the tents of the Idumeans, and the Ismaelites; Moab, and the Agarenes;
7 迦巴勒、亞捫， 和亞瑪力、非利士並泰爾的居民。
Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalec; the Philistines also, with them that dwell at Tyre.
8 亞述也與他們連合； 他們作羅得子孫的幫手。 (細拉)
Yes, Assur too is come with them: they have become a help to the children of Lot. (Pause)
9 求你待他們，如待米甸， 如在基順河待西西拉和耶賓一樣。
Do you to them as to Madiam, and to Sisera; as to Jabin at the brook of Kison.
10 他們在隱‧多珥滅亡， 成了地上的糞土。
They were utterly destroyed at Aendor: they became as dung for the earth.
11 求你叫他們的首領像俄立和西伊伯， 叫他們的王子都像西巴和撒慕拿。
Make their princes as Oreb and Zeb, and Zebee and Salmana; [even] all their princes:
12 他們說：我們要得上帝的住處， 作為自己的產業。
who said, let us take to ourselves the altar of God as an inheritance.
13 我的上帝啊，求你叫他們像旋風的塵土， 像風前的碎稭。
O my God, make them as a wheel; as stubble before the face of the wind.
14 火怎樣焚燒樹林， 火焰怎樣燒着山嶺，
As fire which shall burn up a wood, as the flame may consume the mountains;
15 求你也照樣用狂風追趕他們， 用暴雨恐嚇他們。
so shall you persecute them with your tempest, and trouble them in your anger.
16 願你使他們滿面羞恥， 好叫他們尋求你－耶和華的名！
Fill their faces with dishonour; so shall they seek your name, O Lord.
17 願他們永遠羞愧驚惶！ 願他們慚愧滅亡！
Let them be ashamed and troubled for evermore; yes, let them be confounded and destroyed.
18 使他們知道：惟獨你－ 名為耶和華的－是全地以上的至高者！
And let them know that your name is Lord; that you alone are Most High over all the earth.
