Psalms 83

1 [A song. A Psalm by Asaph.] God, do not be silent. Do not be deaf, and do not be inactive, 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, look, your enemies make an uproar. Those who hate you are hostile.

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

3 They devise crafty plans against your people, and conspire together against your treasured ones.

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

4 They say, "Come, and let us annihilate them as a nation; let the name of Israel may be remembered no more."

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 plot a unified strategy; they make a covenant against you;

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, Ammon, and Amalek, Philistia with the inhabitants of Tyre.

alienys with hem that dwellen in Tyre.

8 Assyria too is joined with them; they lend support to the descendants of Lot. (Selah)

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

9 Do to them as you did to Midian, as to Sisera, as to Jabin at the Kishon River,

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

10 who were destroyed at Endor, who became manure for the ground.

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

11 Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb, all their princes like Zebah and 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 possession for ourselves the pastures of God."

Holde we bi eritage the seyntuarie of God.

13 My God, make them like tumbleweed; like dead weeds blown by the wind.

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

14 Like a fire that consumes a forest, and like the flames that consume the mountains,

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

15 so pursue them with your gale winds, and terrify them with your storm.

So thou schalt pursue hem in thi tempeste; and thou schalt disturble hem in thin ire.

16 Cover their faces with shame, so that they might seek your name, YHWH.

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

17 Let them be put to shame and terrified forever; let them perish in disgrace,

Be thei aschamed, and be thei disturblid in to world of world; and be thei schent and perische thei.

18 that they will know that you alone, whose name is YHWH, 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.
