< Psalms 83 >

1 The song of the salm of Asaph. God, who schal be lijk thee? God, be thou not stille, nether be thou peesid.
A song, or Psalme committed to Asaph. Keep not thou silence, O God: bee not still, and cease not, O God.
2 For lo! thin enemyes sowneden; and thei that haten thee reisiden the heed.
For lo, thine enemies make a tumult: and they that hate thee, haue lifted vp the head.
3 Thei maden a wickid counsel on thi puple; and thei thouyten ayens thi seyntis.
They haue taken craftie counsell against thy people, and haue consulted against thy secret ones.
4 Thei seiden, Come ye, and leese we hem fro the folk; and the name of Israel be no more hadde in mynde.
They haue said, Come and let vs cut them off from being a nation: and let the name of Israel be no more in remembrance.
5 For thei thouyten with oon acord;
For they haue consulted together in heart, and haue made a league against thee:
6 the tabernaclis of Ydumeys, and men of Ismael disposiden a testament togidere ayens thee. Moab, and Agarenus, Jebal, and Amon, and Amalech;
The tabernacles of Edom, and the Ishmaelites, Moab and the Agarims:
7 alienys with hem that dwellen in Tyre.
Gebal and Ammon, and Amalech, the Philistims with the inhabitants of Tyrus:
8 For Assur cometh with hem; thei ben maad in to help to the sones of Loth.
Asshur also is ioyned with them: they haue bene an arme to the children of Lot. (Selah)
9 Make thou to hem as to Madian, and Sisara; as to Jabyn in the stronde of Sison.
Doe thou to them as vnto the Midianites: as to Sisera and as to Iabin at the riuer of Kishon.
10 Thei perischiden in Endor; thei weren maad as a toord of erthe.
They perished at En-dor, and were dung for the earth.
11 Putte thou the prynces of hem as Oreb and Zeb; and Zebee and Salmana. Alle the princis of hem, that seiden;
Make them, euen their princes like Oreb and like Zeeb: yea, all their princes like Zebah and like Zalmuna.
12 Holde we bi eritage the seyntuarie of God.
Which haue said, Let vs take for our possession the habitations of God.
13 My God, putte thou hem as a whele; and as stobil bifor the face of the wynde.
O my God, make them like vnto a wheele, and as the stubble before the winde.
14 As fier that brenneth a wode; and as flawme brynnynge hillis.
As the fire burneth the forest, and as the flame setteth the mountaines on fire:
15 So thou schalt pursue hem in thi tempeste; and thou schalt disturble hem in thin ire.
So persecute them with thy tempest, and make them afraide with thy storme.
16 Lord, fille thou the faces of hem with schenschipe; and thei schulen seke thi name.
Fill their faces with shame, that they may seeke thy Name, O Lord.
17 Be thei aschamed, and be thei disturblid in to world of world; and be thei schent and perische thei.
Let them be confounded and troubled for euer: yea, let them be put to shame and perish,
18 And knowe thei, that the Lord is name to thee; thou aloone art the hiyeste in ech lond.
That they may knowe that thou, which art called Iehouah, art alone, euen the most High ouer all the earth.
