Psalms 83

1 A Song; a Psalm of Asaph. O God, keep not silence; hold not thy peace, and be not still, O God:

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！

2 For behold, thine enemies make a tumult; and they that hate thee lift up the head.

因為您的仇敵騷擾狂吼，惱恨您的人都搖頭昂首；

3 They take crafty counsel against thy people, and consult against thy hidden ones:

相聚密謀，陷害您的百姓，商議攻擊您保護的人民，

4 They say, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation, and let the name of Israel be mentioned no more.

說：大家來，由萬民將要他們驅散，使以色列的名不再被記念。

5 For they have consulted together with one heart: they have made an alliance together against thee.

於是，他們心齊謀同，締結盟約，向您進攻，

6 The tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites, Moab and the Hagarites;

即厄東部落及依市瑪耳，又有摩阿布以及哈革爾。

7 Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek; Philistia, with the inhabitants of Tyre;

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，

8 Asshur also is joined with them: they are an arm to the sons of Lot. (Selah)

亞述人也與他們串通，作了羅特子民的幫兇。

9 Do unto them as to Midian; as to Sisera, as to Jabin, at the torrent of Kishon:

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，

10 Who were destroyed at Endor; they became as dung for the ground.

他們都喪亡於恩多爾，全變成了田裏的糞泥，

11 Make their nobles as Oreb and as Zeeb; and all their chiefs as Zebah and as Zalmunna.

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，

12 For they have said, Let us take to ourselves God's dwelling-places in possession.

因為他們都曾如此說過：我們去佔領天主的住所。

13 O my God, make them like a whirling thing, like stubble before the wind.

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，

14 As fire burneth a forest, and as the flame setteth the mountains on fire,

好像被火燐焚燒的樹林，又似被火燄燃燒的山陵；

15 So pursue them with thy tempest, and terrify them with thy whirlwind.

求您也這樣以您的颶風驅散他們，以您的暴雨驚嚇他們。

16 Fill their faces with shame, that they may seek thy name, O Jehovah.

上主，求您羞辱他們的面容，是為叫他們尋求您的聖名；

17 Let them be put to shame and be dismayed for ever, and let them be confounded and perish:

使他們永遠受辱恐慌，叫他們個個蒙羞喪亡。

18 That they may know that thou alone, whose name is Jehovah, art the Most High over all the earth.

從此，認識您的名號是雅威，惟有您在普天下至尊無對。
