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 Assaph.” O God, take no rest for thyself: be not silent and keep not still, O God!
2 For lo! thin enemyes sowneden; and thei that haten thee reisiden the heed.
For, lo, thy enemies make a tumult, and they that hate thee have lifted up their head.
3 Thei maden a wickid counsel on thi puple; and thei thouyten ayens thi seyntis.
Against thy people they take crafty secret device, and they consult against those whom thou protectest.
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; and the name of Israel shall be remembered no more.
5 For thei thouyten with oon acord;
For they have consulted cordially together; against thee 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 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.
Also Asshur is joined with them; they have become an arm unto 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] Midian; as to Sissera, as to Jabin, at the brook Kishon:
10 Thei perischiden in Endor; thei weren maad as a toord of erthe.
Who were annihilated at 'En-dor; they became as dung for the ground.
11 Putte thou the prynces of hem as Oreb and Zeb; and Zebee and Salmana. Alle the princis of hem, that seiden;
Render them, their nobles, like 'Oreb, and like Zeeb; yea, like Zebach and like Zalmunna' all their princes;
12 Holde we bi eritage the seyntuarie of God.
Who said, Let us conquer for ourselves the dwellings of God,
13 My God, putte thou hem as a whele; and as stobil bifor the face of the wynde.
O my God, render them like the thistle-down, like stubble before the wind.
14 As fier that brenneth a wode; and as flawme brynnynge hillis.
As the fire burneth up a forest, 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 pursue them with thy storm, and with thy whirlwind do thou terrify them.
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 made ashamed and terrified for ever and aye; yea, let them be put to the blush 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 thou, whose name is the Eternal, art by thyself alone, the Most High over all the earth.
