< Psalms 83 >
1 A song. A Psalm of Asaph. O God, be not silent; be not speechless; be not still, O God.
亚萨的诗歌。 神啊,求你不要静默! 神啊,求你不要闭口,也不要不作声!
2 See how Your enemies rage, how Your foes have reared their heads.
因为你的仇敌喧嚷, 恨你的抬起头来。
3 With cunning they scheme against Your people and conspire against those You cherish,
他们同谋奸诈要害你的百姓, 彼此商议要害你所隐藏的人。
4 saying, “Come, let us erase them as a nation; may the name of Israel be remembered no more.”
他们说:来吧,我们将他们剪灭, 使他们不再成国! 使以色列的名不再被人记念!
5 For with one mind they plot together, they form an alliance against You—
他们同心商议, 彼此结盟,要抵挡你,
6 the tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites, of Moab and the Hagrites,
就是住帐棚的以东人和以实玛利人, 摩押和夏甲人,
7 of Gebal, Ammon, and Amalek, of Philistia with the people of Tyre.
迦巴勒、亚扪, 和亚玛力、非利士并泰尔的居民。
8 Even Assyria has joined them, lending strength to the sons of Lot.
亚述也与他们连合; 他们作罗得子孙的帮手。 (细拉)
9 Do to them as You did to Midian, as to Sisera and Jabin at the River Kishon,
求你待他们,如待米甸, 如在基顺河待西西拉和耶宾一样。
10 who perished at Endor and became like dung on the ground.
他们在隐·多珥灭亡, 成了地上的粪土。
11 Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb, and all their princes like Zebah and Zalmunna,
求你叫他们的首领像俄立和西伊伯, 叫他们的王子都像西巴和撒慕拿。
12 who said, “Let us possess for ourselves the pastures of God.”
他们说:我们要得 神的住处, 作为自己的产业。
13 Make them like tumbleweed, O my God, like chaff before the wind.
我的 神啊,求你叫他们像旋风的尘土, 像风前的碎秸。
14 As fire consumes a forest, as a flame sets the mountains ablaze,
火怎样焚烧树林, 火焰怎样烧着山岭,
15 so pursue them with Your tempest, and terrify them with Your storm.
求你也照样用狂风追赶他们, 用暴雨恐吓他们。
16 Cover their faces with shame, that they may seek Your name, O LORD.
愿你使他们满面羞耻, 好叫他们寻求你—耶和华的名!
17 May they be ever ashamed and terrified; may they perish in disgrace.
愿他们永远羞愧惊惶! 愿他们惭愧灭亡!
18 May they know that You alone, whose name is the LORD, are Most High over all the earth.
使他们知道:惟独你— 名为耶和华的—是全地以上的至高者!
