Psalms 83
1 A song, or Psalme committed to Asaph. Keep not thou silence, O God: bee not still, and cease not, 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 lo, thine enemies make a tumult: and they that hate thee, haue lifted vp the head.
For lo! thin enemyes sowneden; and thei that haten thee reisiden the heed.
3 They haue taken craftie counsell against thy people, and haue consulted against thy secret ones.
Thei maden a wickid counsel on thi puple; and thei thouyten ayens thi seyntis.
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.
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 haue consulted together in heart, and haue made a league against thee:
For thei thouyten with oon acord;
6 The tabernacles of Edom, and the Ishmaelites, Moab and the Agarims:
the tabernaclis of Ydumeys, and men of Ismael disposiden a testament togidere ayens thee. Moab, and Agarenus, Jebal, and Amon, and Amalech;
7 Gebal and Ammon, and Amalech, the Philistims with the inhabitants of Tyrus:
alienys with hem that dwellen in Tyre.
8 Asshur also is ioyned with them: they haue bene an arme to the children of Lot. (Selah)
For Assur cometh with hem; thei ben maad in to help to the sones of Loth.
9 Doe thou to them as vnto the Midianites: as to Sisera and as to Iabin at the riuer of Kishon.
Make thou to hem as to Madian, and Sisara; as to Jabyn in the stronde of Sison.
10 They perished at En-dor, and were dung for the earth.
Thei perischiden in Endor; thei weren maad as a toord of erthe.
11 Make them, euen their princes like Oreb and like Zeeb: yea, all their princes like Zebah and like Zalmuna.
Putte thou the prynces of hem as Oreb and Zeb; and Zebee and Salmana. Alle the princis of hem, that seiden;
12 Which haue said, Let vs take for our possession the habitations of God.
Holde we bi eritage the seyntuarie of God.
13 O my God, make them like vnto a wheele, and as the stubble before the winde.
My God, putte thou hem as a whele; and as stobil bifor the face of the wynde.
14 As the fire burneth the forest, and as the flame setteth the mountaines on fire:
As fier that brenneth a wode; and as flawme brynnynge hillis.
15 So persecute them with thy tempest, and make them afraide with thy storme.
So thou schalt pursue hem in thi tempeste; and thou schalt disturble hem in thin ire.
16 Fill their faces with shame, that they may seeke thy Name, O Lord.
Lord, fille thou the faces of hem with schenschipe; and thei schulen seke thi name.
17 Let them be confounded and troubled for euer: yea, let them be put to shame and perish,
Be thei aschamed, and be thei disturblid in to world of world; and be thei schent and perische thei.
18 That they may knowe that thou, which art called Iehouah, art alone, euen the most High ouer all the earth.
And knowe thei, that the Lord is name to thee; thou aloone art the hiyeste in ech lond.
