Psalms 83

1 A Song, a Psalm of Asaph. O God, keep not Thou silence; hold not Thy peace, and be not still, 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 are in an uproar; and they that hate Thee have lifted up the head.

For lo! thin enemyes sowneden; and thei that haten thee reisiden the heed.

3 They hold crafty converse against Thy people, and take counsel against Thy treasured ones.

Thei maden a wickid counsel on thi puple; and thei thouyten ayens thi seyntis.

4 They have said: 'Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation; that the name of Israel may 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 have consulted together with one consent; against Thee do they make a covenant;

For thei thouyten with oon acord;

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

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 Amalek; Philistia with the inhabitants of Tyre;

alienys with hem that dwellen in Tyre.

8 Assyria also is joined with them; they have been an arm to the children of Lot. (Selah)

For Assur cometh with hem; thei ben maad in to help to the sones of Loth.

9 Do Thou unto them as unto Midian; as to Sisera, as to Jabin, at the brook Kishon;

Make thou to hem as to Madian, and Sisara; as to Jabyn in the stronde of Sison.

10 Who were destroyed at En-dor; they became as dung for the earth.

Thei perischiden in Endor; thei weren maad as a toord of erthe.

11 Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb, and like Zebah and Zalmunna all their princes;

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 take to ourselves in possession the habitations of God.'

Holde we bi eritage the seyntuarie of God.

13 O my God, make them like the whirling dust; as stubble before the wind.

My God, putte thou hem as a whele; and as stobil bifor the face of the wynde.

14 As the fire that burneth the forest, and as the flame that setteth the mountains ablaze;

As fier that brenneth a wode; and as flawme brynnynge hillis.

15 So pursue them with Thy tempest, and affright them with Thy storm.

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 seek Thy name, O LORD.

Lord, fille thou the faces of hem with schenschipe; and thei schulen seke thi name.

17 Let them be ashamed and affrighted for ever; yea, let them be abashed 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 know that it is Thou alone whose name is the LORD, the Most High over all the earth.

And knowe thei, that the Lord is name to thee; thou aloone art the hiyeste in ech lond.
