Mazmur 83

1 Mazmur Asaf: suatu nyanyian. Ya Allah, janganlah Engkau bungkam, janganlah berdiam diri dan janganlah berpangku tangan, ya Allah!

A Song, a Psalm of Asaph. O God, keep not Thou 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 are in an uproar; and they that 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 hold crafty converse against Thy people, and take counsel against Thy treasured 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; against Thee do they make a covenant;

6 Penghuni kemah-kemah Edom dan orang Ismael, Moab dan orang Hagar,

The tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites; Moab, and the Hagrites;

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 been an arm to the children of Lot. (Selah)

9 Perlakukanlah mereka seperti Midian, seperti Sisera, seperti Yabin dekat sungai Kison,

Do Thou unto them as unto Midian; as to Sisera, as to Jabin, at the brook Kishon;

10 yang sudah dipunahkan di En-Dor, menjadi pupuk bagi tanah.

Who were destroyed at En-dor; they became as dung for the earth.

11 Buatlah para pemuka mereka seperti Oreb dan Zeeb, seperti Zebah dan Salmuna semua pemimpin mereka,

Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb, and like Zebah and Zalmunna all their princes;

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 burneth the forest, and as the flame that setteth the mountains ablaze;

15 kejarlah mereka dengan badai-Mu, dan kejutkanlah mereka dengan puting beliung-Mu;

So pursue them with Thy tempest, and affright them with Thy storm.

16 penuhilah muka mereka dengan kehinaan, supaya mereka mencari nama-Mu, ya TUHAN!

Fill their faces with shame; that they may seek Thy name, O LORD.

17 Biarlah mereka mendapat malu dan terkejut selama-lamanya; biarlah mereka tersipu-sipu dan binasa,

Let them be ashamed and affrighted for ever; yea, let them be abashed and perish;

18 supaya mereka tahu bahwa Engkau sajalah yang bernama TUHAN, Yang Mahatinggi atas seluruh bumi.

That they may know that it is Thou alone whose name is the LORD, the Most High over all the earth.
