< Psalms 83 >
1 Keep not you silence, O God: hold not your 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, see, your enemies make a tumult: and they that hate you have lifted up the head.
For lo! thin enemyes sowneden; and thei that haten thee reisiden the heed.
3 They have taken crafty counsel against your people, and consulted against your hidden 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: they are confederate against you:
For thei thouyten with oon acord;
6 The tabernacles of Edom, and the Ishmaelites; of Moab, and the Hagarenes;
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; the Philistines with the inhabitants of Tyre;
alienys with hem that dwellen in Tyre.
8 Assur also is joined with them: they have helped the children of Lot. (Selah)
For Assur cometh with hem; thei ben maad in to help to the sones of Loth.
9 Do to them as to the Midianites; as to Sisera, as to Jabin, at the brook of Kison:
Make thou to hem as to Madian, and Sisara; as to Jabyn in the stronde of Sison.
10 Which perished at Endor: 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 like Zeeb: yes, all their princes as Zebah, and as Zalmunna:
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 the houses of God in possession.
Holde we bi eritage the seyntuarie of God.
13 O my God, make them like a wheel; as the 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 burns a wood, and as the flame sets the mountains on fire;
As fier that brenneth a wode; and as flawme brynnynge hillis.
15 So persecute them with your tempest, and make them afraid with your 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 your 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 ever; yes, 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 men may know that you, whose name alone is JEHOVAH, are 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.
