Psalms 83

1 “A psalm of Asaph.” O God! keep not silence! 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 roar, And they who hate thee lift up their heads.

因為你的仇敵喧嚷， 恨你的抬起頭來。

3 For they form secret plots against thy people, And consult together against thy chosen 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 “Come,” say they, “let us blot them out from the number of the nations, That the name of Israel may no more be remembered!”

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 With one consent they consult together, Against thee do they form a league, —

他們同心商議， 彼此結盟，要抵擋你，

6 The tents 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 The Assyrians also are joined with them; They lend their strength to the children of Lot.

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 to the Midianites, As to Sisera, as to Jabin at the brook 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 Who perished at Endor, And were trampled like dung to the earth.

他們在隱‧多珥滅亡， 成了地上的糞土。

11 Make their chiefs like Oreb and Zeeb; Yea, all their princes as Zeba and 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 say, “Let us seize on God's habitations!”

他們說：我們要得上帝的住處， 作為自己的產業。

13 Make them, O my God! like whirling chaff; Like 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 fire consumeth the forest, And as flame setteth the mountains in a blaze,

火怎樣焚燒樹林， 火焰怎樣燒着山嶺，

15 So pursue them with thy tempest, And terrify them with thy storm!

求你也照樣用狂風追趕他們， 用暴雨恐嚇他們。

16 Cover 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! 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 they may know that thy name alone is Jehovah; That thou 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！
