Psalms 83

1 “A song or psalm of Assaph.” O God, take no rest for thyself: be not silent and keep not still, 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, thy enemies make a tumult, and they that hate thee have lifted up their head.

因為您的仇敵騷擾狂吼，惱恨您的人都搖頭昂首；

3 Against thy people they take crafty secret device, and they consult against those whom thou protectest.

相聚密謀，陷害您的百姓，商議攻擊您保護的人民，

4 They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation; and the name of Israel shall be remembered no more.

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 have consulted cordially together; against thee they make a covenant:

於是，他們心齊謀同，締結盟約，向您進攻，

6 The tents of Edom, and the Ishmaelites: Moab, and the Hagarenes;

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 'Amalek; the Philistines with the inhabitants of Tyre;

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 Also Asshur is joined with them; they have become an arm unto the children of Lot. (Selah)

亞述人也與他們串通，作了羅特子民的幫兇。

9 Do unto them as [unto] Midian; as to Sissera, as to Jabin, at the brook 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 Who were annihilated at 'En-dor; they became as dung for the ground.

他們都喪亡於恩多爾，全變成了田裏的糞泥，

11 Render them, their nobles, like 'Oreb, and like Zeeb; yea, like Zebach and like Zalmunna' all their princes;

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 Who said, Let us conquer for ourselves the dwellings 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, render them like the thistle-down, like stubble before the wind.

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 up a forest, and as the flame setteth the mountains on fire:

好像被火燐焚燒的樹林，又似被火燄燃燒的山陵；

15 So pursue them with thy storm, and with thy whirlwind do thou terrify them.

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 seek 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 made ashamed and terrified for ever and aye; yea, let them be put to the blush and perish:

使他們永遠受辱恐慌，叫他們個個蒙羞喪亡。

18 That they may know that thou, whose name is the Eternal, art by thyself alone, the Most High over 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。
