< 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.
2 For lo! thin enemyes sowneden; and thei that haten thee reisiden the heed.
3 Thei maden a wickid counsel on thi puple; and thei thouyten ayens thi seyntis.
4 Thei seiden, Come ye, and leese we hem fro the folk; and the name of Israel be no more hadde in mynde.
5 For thei thouyten with oon acord;
6 the tabernaclis of Ydumeys, and men of Ismael disposiden a testament togidere ayens thee. Moab, and Agarenus, Jebal, and Amon, and Amalech;
7 alienys with hem that dwellen in Tyre.
8 For Assur cometh with hem; thei ben maad in to help to the sones of Loth.
9 Make thou to hem as to Madian, and Sisara; as to Jabyn in the stronde of Sison.
10 Thei perischiden in Endor; thei weren maad as a toord of erthe.
11 Putte thou the prynces of hem as Oreb and Zeb; and Zebee and Salmana. Alle the princis of hem, that seiden;
12 Holde we bi eritage the seyntuarie of God.
13 My God, putte thou hem as a whele; and as stobil bifor the face of the wynde.
14 As fier that brenneth a wode; and as flawme brynnynge hillis.
15 So thou schalt pursue hem in thi tempeste; and thou schalt disturble hem in thin ire.
16 Lord, fille thou the faces of hem with schenschipe; and thei schulen seke thi name.
17 Be thei aschamed, and be thei disturblid in to world of world; and be thei schent and perische thei.
18 And knowe thei, that the Lord is name to thee; thou aloone art the hiyeste in ech lond.
