Psalms 83

1 KEEP not thou silence, O God: hold not thy peace, and be not still, O God.

亞薩的詩歌。 上帝啊，求你不要靜默！ 上帝啊，求你不要閉口，也不要不作聲！

2 For, lo, thine enemies make a tumult: and they that hate thee have lifted up the head.

因為你的仇敵喧嚷， 恨你的抬起頭來。

3 They have taken crafty counsel against thy people, and consulted against thy hidden ones.

他們同謀奸詐要害你的百姓， 彼此商議要害你所隱藏的人。

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.

他們說：來吧，我們將他們剪滅， 使他們不再成國！ 使以色列的名不再被人記念！

5 For they have consulted together with one consent: they are confederate against thee:

他們同心商議， 彼此結盟，要抵擋你，

6 The tabernacles of Edom, and the Ishmaelites; of Moab, and the Hagarenes;

就是住帳棚的以東人和以實瑪利人， 摩押和夏甲人，

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

迦巴勒、亞捫， 和亞瑪力、非利士並泰爾的居民。

8 Assur also is joined with them: they have holpen the children of Lot. (Selah)

亞述也與他們連合； 他們作羅得子孫的幫手。 (細拉)

9 Do unto them as unto the Midianites; as to Sisera, as to Jabin, at the brook of Kison:

求你待他們，如待米甸， 如在基順河待西西拉和耶賓一樣。

10 Which perished at En-dor: they became as dung for the earth.

他們在隱‧多珥滅亡， 成了地上的糞土。

11 Make their nobles like Oreb, and like Zeeb: yea, all their princes as Zebah, and as Zalmunna:

求你叫他們的首領像俄立和西伊伯， 叫他們的王子都像西巴和撒慕拿。

12 Who said, Let us take to ourselves the houses of God in possession.

他們說：我們要得上帝的住處， 作為自己的產業。

13 O my God, make them like a wheel; as the stubble before the wind.

我的上帝啊，求你叫他們像旋風的塵土， 像風前的碎稭。

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

火怎樣焚燒樹林， 火焰怎樣燒着山嶺，

15 So persecute them with thy tempest, and make them afraid with thy storm.

求你也照樣用狂風追趕他們， 用暴雨恐嚇他們。

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

願你使他們滿面羞恥， 好叫他們尋求你－耶和華的名！

17 Let them be confounded and troubled for ever; yea, let them be put to shame, and perish:

願他們永遠羞愧驚惶！ 願他們慚愧滅亡！

18 That men may know that thou, whose name alone is JEHOVAH, art the most high over all the earth.

使他們知道：惟獨你－ 名為耶和華的－是全地以上的至高者！
