Mazmur 83
1 Mazmur Asaf: suatu nyanyian. Ya Allah, janganlah Engkau bungkam, janganlah berdiam diri dan janganlah berpangku tangan, ya Allah!
O God, keep thou not silence. Hold not thy peace, and be not still, O God.
2 Sebab sesungguhnya musuh-musuh-Mu ribut, orang-orang yang membenci Engkau meninggikan kepala.
For, lo, thine enemies make a tumult, and those who hate thee have lifted up the head.
3 Mereka mengadakan permufakatan licik melawan umat-Mu, dan mereka berunding untuk melawan orang-orang yang Kaulindungi.
They take crafty counsel against thy people, and consult together against thy hidden ones.
4 Kata mereka: "Marilah kita lenyapkan mereka sebagai bangsa, sehingga nama Israel tidak diingat lagi!"
They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation, that the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance.
5 Sungguh, mereka telah berunding dengan satu hati, mereka telah mengadakan perjanjian melawan Engkau:
For they have consulted together with one consent. They make a covenant against thee:
6 Penghuni kemah-kemah Edom dan orang Ismael, Moab dan orang Hagar,
the tents of Edom, and the Ishmaelites, Moab, and the Hagarenes,
7 Gebal dan Amon dan Amalek, Filistea beserta penduduk Tirus,
Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek, Philistia with the inhabitants of Tyre,
8 juga Asyur telah bergabung dengan mereka, menjadi kaki tangan bani Lot. (Sela)
Assyria also is joined with them; they have helped the sons of Lot. (Selah)
9 Perlakukanlah mereka seperti Midian, seperti Sisera, seperti Yabin dekat sungai Kison,
Do thou to them as to Midian, as to Sisera, as to Jabin, at the river Kishon,
10 yang sudah dipunahkan di En-Dor, menjadi pupuk bagi tanah.
who perished at Endor, who became as dung for the earth.
11 Buatlah para pemuka mereka seperti Oreb dan Zeeb, seperti Zebah dan Salmuna semua pemimpin mereka,
Make their ranking men like Oreb and Zeeb, yea, all their rulers like Zebah and Zalmunna,
12 yang berkata: "Marilah kita menduduki tempat-tempat kediaman Allah!"
who said, Let us take to ourselves in possession the habitations of God.
13 Ya Allahku, buatlah mereka seperti dedak yang beterbangan, seperti jerami yang ditiup angin!
O my God, make them like the whirling dust, as stubble before the wind,
14 Seperti api yang membakar hutan, dan seperti nyala api yang menghanguskan gunung-gunung,
as the fire that burns the forest, and as the flame that sets the mountains on fire.
15 kejarlah mereka dengan badai-Mu, dan kejutkanlah mereka dengan puting beliung-Mu;
So pursue them with thy tempest, and terrify them with thy storm.
16 penuhilah muka mereka dengan kehinaan, supaya mereka mencari nama-Mu, ya TUHAN!
Fill their faces with confusion, that they may seek thy name, O Jehovah.
17 Biarlah mereka mendapat malu dan terkejut selama-lamanya; biarlah mereka tersipu-sipu dan binasa,
Let them be put to shame and dismayed forever. Yea, let them be confounded and perish,
18 supaya mereka tahu bahwa Engkau sajalah yang bernama TUHAN, Yang Mahatinggi atas seluruh bumi.
that they may know that thou alone, whose name is Jehovah, are the Most High over all the earth.
