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] Psalm of Asaph. Keep not thou silence, O God: 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 make a tumult: 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 have taken crafty counsel against thy people, and consulted against thy hidden 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: they are confederate 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; of Moab, and the Hagarenes;

7 alienys with hem that dwellen in Tyre.

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

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

Assur also is joined with them: they have holpen the children of Lot. (Selah)

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

Do unto them as [unto] the Midianites; as [to] Sisera, as [to] Jabin, at the brook of Kison:

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

[Which] perished at Endor: 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 like Zeeb: yea, all their princes as Zebah, and as Zalmunna:

12 Holde we bi eritage the seyntuarie of God.

Who said, Let us take to ourselves the houses of God in possession.

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

O my God, make them like a wheel; as the stubble before the wind.

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

As the fire burneth a wood, and as the flame setteth the mountains 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 afraid 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 confounded and troubled for ever; 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 [men] may know that thou, whose name alone [is] JEHOVAH, [art] the most high over all the earth.
