Psalms 83

1 A SONG. A PSALM OF ASAPH. O God, let there be no silence to You, Do not be silent, nor be quiet, 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 behold, Your enemies roar, And those hating You have lifted up the head,

因為你的仇敵喧嚷， 恨你的抬起頭來。

3 They take crafty counsel against Your people, And consult against Your 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 we cut them off from [being] a nation, And the name of Israel is not remembered anymore.”

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 consulted in heart together, They make a covenant against You,

他們同心商議， 彼此結盟，要抵擋你，

6 Tents of Edom, and Ishmaelites, 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, Philistia with inhabitants of Tyre,

迦巴勒、亞捫， 和亞瑪力、非利士並泰爾的居民。

8 Asshur is also joined with them, They have been an arm to sons 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 to them as Midian, As Sisera, as Jabin, at the Brook of Kishon.

求你待他們，如待米甸， 如在基順河待西西拉和耶賓一樣。

10 They were destroyed at Endor, They were dung for the ground!

他們在隱‧多珥滅亡， 成了地上的糞土。

11 Make their nobles as Oreb and as Zeeb, And as Zebah and Zalmunna—all their princes,

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 have said, “Let us occupy the pastures of God for ourselves.”

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 as a rolling thing, As stubble before 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 a fire burns a forest, And as a flame sets hills on fire,

火怎樣焚燒樹林， 火焰怎樣燒着山嶺，

15 So You pursue them with Your whirlwind, And trouble them with Your windstorm.

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, And they seek Your Name, O YHWH.

願你使他們滿面羞恥， 好叫他們尋求你－耶和華的名！

17 They are ashamed and troubled forever, Indeed, they are confounded and lost.

願他們永遠羞愧驚惶！ 願他們慚愧滅亡！

18 And they know that You—Your Name [is] YHWH—By Yourself [are] 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！
