ગીતશાસ્ત્ર 83
A Song of a Psalm for Asaph. O God, who shall be compared to you? be not silent, neither be still, O God.
2 ૨ જુઓ, તમારા શત્રુઓ હુલ્લડ મચાવે છે અને જેઓ તમને ધિક્કારે છે તેમણે તમારી સામે માથું ઊંચું કર્યું છે.
For behold, your enemies have made a noise; and they that hate you have lifted up the head.
3 ૩ તેઓ તમારા લોકો વિરુદ્ધ કપટભરી યોજનાઓ કરે છે અને તમારા લોક જેઓ તમને મૂલ્યવાન છે, તેઓની વિરુદ્ધ પ્રપંચ રચે છે.
Against your people they have craftily imagined a device, and have taken counsel against your saints.
4 ૪ તેઓએ કહ્યું છે, “ચાલો, પ્રજા તરીકેના તેમના અસ્તિત્વનો આપણે સંપૂર્ણ નાશ કરીએ. જેથી ઇઝરાયલના નામનું સ્મરણ હવે પછી કદી રહે નહિ.”
They have said, Come, and let us utterly destroy them out of the nation; and let the name of Israel be remembered no more at all.
For they have taken counsel together with one consent: they have made a confederacy against you;
even the tents of the Idumeans, and the Ismaelites; Moab, and the Agarenes;
Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalec; the Philistines also, with them that dwell at Tyre.
Yes, Assur too is come with them: they have become a help to the children of Lot. (Pause)
Do you to them as to Madiam, and to Sisera; as to Jabin at the brook of Kison.
They were utterly destroyed at Aendor: they became as dung for the earth.
Make their princes as Oreb and Zeb, and Zebee and Salmana; [even] all their princes:
who said, let us take to ourselves the altar of God as an inheritance.
O my God, make them as a wheel; as stubble before the face of the wind.
As fire which shall burn up a wood, as the flame may consume the mountains;
so shall you persecute them with your tempest, and trouble them in your anger.
Fill their faces with dishonor; so shall they seek your name, O Lord.
Let them be ashamed and troubled for evermore; yes, let them be confounded and destroyed.
And let them know that your name is Lord; that you alone are Most High over all the earth.
