Psalms 83

1 A song, or Psalme committed to Asaph. Keep not thou silence, O God: bee not still, and cease not, 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 lo, thine enemies make a tumult: and they that hate thee, haue lifted vp the head.

因為您的仇敵騷擾狂吼，惱恨您的人都搖頭昂首；

3 They haue taken craftie counsell against thy people, and haue consulted against thy secret ones.

相聚密謀，陷害您的百姓，商議攻擊您保護的人民，

4 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.

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 haue consulted together in heart, and haue made a league against thee:

於是，他們心齊謀同，締結盟約，向您進攻，

6 The tabernacles of Edom, and the Ishmaelites, Moab and the Agarims:

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 Amalech, the Philistims with the inhabitants of Tyrus:

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 ioyned with them: they haue bene an arme to the children of Lot. (Selah)

亞述人也與他們串通，作了羅特子民的幫兇。

9 Doe thou to them as vnto the Midianites: as to Sisera and as to Iabin at the riuer 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 They perished at En-dor, and were dung for the earth.

他們都喪亡於恩多爾，全變成了田裏的糞泥，

11 Make them, euen their princes like Oreb and like Zeeb: yea, all their princes like Zebah and like Zalmuna.

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 Which haue said, Let vs take for our possession the habitations of God.

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 vnto a wheele, and as the stubble before the winde.

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 the fire burneth the forest, and as the flame setteth the mountaines on fire:

好像被火燐焚燒的樹林，又似被火燄燃燒的山陵；

15 So persecute them with thy tempest, and make them afraide with thy storme.

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 seeke thy Name, O Lord.

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 confounded and troubled for euer: yea, let them be put to shame and perish,

使他們永遠受辱恐慌，叫他們個個蒙羞喪亡。

18 That they may knowe that thou, which art called Iehouah, art alone, euen the most High ouer 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。
