Psalms 83
1 A Canticle Psalm of Asaph. O God, who will ever be like you? Do not be silent, and do not be unmoved, O God.
The song of the salm of Asaph. God, who schal be lijk thee? God, be thou not stille, nether be thou peesid.
2 For behold, your enemies have sounded off, and those who hate you have carried out a head.
For lo! thin enemyes sowneden; and thei that haten thee reisiden the heed.
3 They have acted with malice in counsel over your people, and they have plotted against your holy ones.
Thei maden a wickid counsel on thi puple; and thei thouyten ayens thi seyntis.
4 They have said, “Come, let us scatter them from the nations and not allow the name of Israel to be remembered any longer.”
Thei seiden, Come ye, and leese we hem fro the folk; and the name of Israel be no more hadde in mynde.
5 For they plotted unanimously. Joined together against you, they ordained a covenant:
For thei thouyten with oon acord;
6 the tabernacle of Edomites and Ishmaelites, and Moab and the Hagarites,
the tabernaclis of Ydumeys, and men of Ismael disposiden a testament togidere ayens thee. Moab, and Agarenus, Jebal, and Amon, and Amalech;
7 and Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek, the foreigners among the inhabitants of Tyre.
alienys with hem that dwellen in Tyre.
8 For even Assur comes with them. They have become the helpers of the sons of Lot.
For Assur cometh with hem; thei ben maad in to help to the sones of Loth.
9 Do to them as you did to Midian and Sisera, just as to Jabin at the torrent of Kishon.
Make thou to hem as to Madian, and Sisara; as to Jabyn in the stronde of Sison.
10 They perished at Endor, and they became like the dung of the earth.
Thei perischiden in Endor; thei weren maad as a toord of erthe.
11 Set their leaders to be like Oreb and Zeeb, and Zebah and Zalmunna: all their leaders
Putte thou the prynces of hem as Oreb and Zeb; and Zebee and Salmana. Alle the princis of hem, that seiden;
12 who said, “Let us possess the Sanctuary of God for an inheritance.”
Holde we bi eritage the seyntuarie of God.
13 My God, set them like a wheel, and like stubble before the face of the wind.
My God, putte thou hem as a whele; and as stobil bifor the face of the wynde.
14 Set them like a fire burning up the forest, and like a flame burning up the mountains.
As fier that brenneth a wode; and as flawme brynnynge hillis.
15 So will you pursue them in your tempest, and disturb them in your wrath.
So thou schalt pursue hem in thi tempeste; and thou schalt disturble hem in thin ire.
16 Fill their faces with shame, and they will seek your name, O Lord.
Lord, fille thou the faces of hem with schenschipe; and thei schulen seke thi name.
17 Let them be ashamed and troubled, from age to age, and let them be confounded and perish.
Be thei aschamed, and be thei disturblid in to world of world; and be thei schent and perische thei.
18 And let them know that the Lord is your name. You alone are the Most High in all the earth.
And knowe thei, that the Lord is name to thee; thou aloone art the hiyeste in ech lond.
