Psalms 83

1 A Song, — A Psalm of Asaph. O God, let there be no silence to Thee, Be not silent, nor be quiet, O God.

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, Thine enemies do roar, And those hating Thee have lifted up the head,

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

3 Against Thy people they take crafty counsel, And consult against Thy hidden ones.

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

4 They have said, 'Come, And we cut them off from [being] a nation, And the name of Israel is not remembered any more.'

Thei seiden, Come ye, and leese we hem fro the folk; and the name of Israel be no more hadde in mynde.

5 For they consulted in heart together, Against Thee a covenant they make,

For thei thouyten with oon acord;

6 Tents of Edom, and Ishmaelites, Moab, and the Hagarenes,

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

7 Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek, Philistia with inhabitants of Tyre,

alienys with hem that dwellen in Tyre.

8 Asshur also is joined with them, They have been an arm to sons of Lot. (Selah)

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

9 Do to them as [to] Midian, As [to] Sisera, as [to] Jabin, at the stream Kishon.

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

10 They were destroyed at Endor, They were dung for the ground!

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

11 Make their nobles as Oreb and as Zeeb, And as Zebah and Zalmunna all their princes,

Putte thou the prynces of hem as Oreb and Zeb; and Zebee and Salmana. Alle the princis of hem, that seiden;

12 Who have said, 'Let us occupy for ourselves The comely places of God.'

Holde we bi eritage the seyntuarie of God.

13 O my God, make them as a rolling thing, As stubble before wind.

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

14 As a fire doth burn a forest, And as a flame setteth hills on fire,

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

15 So dost Thou pursue them with Thy whirlwind, And with Thy hurricane troublest them.

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

16 Fill their faces [with] shame, And they seek Thy name, O Jehovah.

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

17 They are ashamed and troubled for ever, Yea, they are confounded and lost.

Be thei aschamed, and be thei disturblid in to world of world; and be thei schent and perische thei.

18 And they know that Thou — (Thy name [is] Jehovah — by Thyself, ) [Art] the Most High over all the earth!

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