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 by Asaph.] God, do not be silent. Do not be deaf, and do not be inactive, God.
2 For lo! thin enemyes sowneden; and thei that haten thee reisiden the heed.
For, look, your enemies make an uproar. Those who hate you are hostile.
3 Thei maden a wickid counsel on thi puple; and thei thouyten ayens thi seyntis.
They devise crafty plans against your people, and conspire together against your 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 say, "Come, and let us annihilate them as a nation; let the name of Israel may be remembered no more."
5 For thei thouyten with oon acord;
For they plot a unified strategy; they make a covenant against you;
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, 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 too is joined with them; they lend support to the descendants of Lot. (Selah)
9 Make thou to hem as to Madian, and Sisara; as to Jabyn in the stronde of Sison.
Do to them as you did to Midian, as to Sisera, as to Jabin at the Kishon River,
10 Thei perischiden in Endor; thei weren maad as a toord of erthe.
who were destroyed at Endor, who became manure 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;
Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb, all their princes like Zebah and Zalmunna,
12 Holde we bi eritage the seyntuarie of God.
who said, "Let us take possession for ourselves the pastures of God."
13 My God, putte thou hem as a whele; and as stobil bifor the face of the wynde.
My God, make them like tumbleweed; like dead weeds blown by the wind.
14 As fier that brenneth a wode; and as flawme brynnynge hillis.
Like a fire that consumes a forest, and like the flames that consume the mountains,
15 So thou schalt pursue hem in thi tempeste; and thou schalt disturble hem in thin ire.
so pursue them with your gale winds, and terrify them with your storm.
16 Lord, fille thou the faces of hem with schenschipe; and thei schulen seke thi name.
Cover their faces with shame, so that they might seek your name, YHWH.
17 Be thei aschamed, and be thei disturblid in to world of world; and be thei schent and perische thei.
Let them be put to shame and terrified forever; let them perish in disgrace,
18 And knowe thei, that the Lord is name to thee; thou aloone art the hiyeste in ech lond.
that they will know that you alone, whose name is YHWH, are the Most High over all the earth.
