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, a Psalm of Asaph. O God, keep not Thou silence; hold not Thy peace, and be not still, O God.

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

For, lo, Thine enemies are in an uproar; and they that hate Thee have lifted up the head.

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

They hold crafty converse against Thy people, and take counsel against Thy treasured 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 have said: 'Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation; that the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance.'

5 For thei thouyten with oon acord;

For they have consulted together with one consent; against Thee do they make a covenant;

6 the tabernaclis of Ydumeys, and men of Ismael disposiden a testament togidere ayens thee. Moab, and Agarenus, Jebal, and Amon, and Amalech;

The tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites; Moab, and the Hagrites;

7 alienys with hem that dwellen in Tyre.

Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek; Philistia with the inhabitants of Tyre;

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

Assyria also is joined with them; they have been an arm to the children of Lot. (Selah)

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

Do Thou unto them as unto Midian; as to Sisera, as to Jabin, at the brook Kishon;

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

Who were destroyed at En-dor; they became as 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 their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb, and like Zebah and Zalmunna all their princes;

12 Holde we bi eritage the seyntuarie of God.

Who said: 'Let us take to ourselves in 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 the whirling dust; as stubble before the wind.

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

As the fire that burneth the forest, and as the flame that setteth the mountains ablaze;

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

So pursue them with Thy tempest, and affright them with Thy storm.

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

Fill their faces with shame; that they may seek 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 ashamed and affrighted for ever; yea, let them be abashed and perish;

18 And knowe thei, that the Lord is name to thee; thou aloone art the hiyeste in ech lond.

That they may know that it is Thou alone whose name is the LORD, the Most High over all the earth.
