Psalmorum 83
1 Canticum Psalmi Asaph. [Deus, quis similis erit tibi? ne taceas, neque compescaris, Deus:
KEEP not thou silence, O God: hold not thy peace, and be not still, O God.
2 quoniam ecce inimici tui sonuerunt, et qui oderunt te extulerunt caput.
For, lo, thine enemies make a tumult: and they that hate thee have lifted up the head.
3 Super populum tuum malignaverunt consilium, et cogitaverunt adversus sanctos tuos.
They have taken crafty counsel against thy people, and consulted against thy hidden ones.
4 Dixerunt: Venite, et disperdamus eos de gente, et non memoretur nomen Israël ultra.
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 Quoniam cogitaverunt unanimiter; simul adversum te testamentum disposuerunt:
For they have consulted together with one consent: they are confederate against thee:
6 tabernacula Idumæorum et Ismahelitæ, Moab et Agareni,
The tabernacles of Edom, and the Ishmaelites; of Moab, and the Hagarenes;
7 Gebal, et Ammon, et Amalec; alienigenæ cum habitantibus Tyrum.
Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek; the Philistines with the inhabitants of Tyre;
8 Etenim Assur venit cum illis: facti sunt in adjutorium filiis Lot.
Assur also is joined with them: they have holpen the children of Lot. (Selah)
9 Fac illis sicut Madian et Sisaræ, sicut Jabin in torrente Cisson.
Do unto them as unto the Midianites; as to Sisera, as to Jabin, at the brook of Kison:
10 Disperierunt in Endor; facti sunt ut stercus terræ.
Which perished at En-dor: they became as dung for the earth.
11 Pone principes eorum sicut Oreb, et Zeb, et Zebee, et Salmana: omnes principes eorum,
Make their nobles like Oreb, and like Zeeb: yea, all their princes as Zebah, and as Zalmunna:
12 qui dixerunt: Hæreditate possideamus sanctuarium Dei.
Who said, Let us take to ourselves the houses of God in possession.
13 Deus meus, pone illos ut rotam, et sicut stipulam ante faciem venti.
O my God, make them like a wheel; as the stubble before the wind.
14 Sicut ignis qui comburit silvam, et sicut flamma comburens montes,
As the fire burneth a wood, and as the flame setteth the mountains on fire;
15 ita persequeris illos in tempestate tua, et in ira tua turbabis eos.
So persecute them with thy tempest, and make them afraid with thy storm.
16 Imple facies eorum ignominia, et quærent nomen tuum, Domine.
Fill their faces with shame; that they may seek thy name, O Lord.
17 Erubescant, et conturbentur in sæculum sæculi, et confundantur, et pereant.
Let them be confounded and troubled for ever; yea, let them be put to shame, and perish:
18 Et cognoscant quia nomen tibi Dominus: tu solus Altissimus in omni terra.]
That men may know that thou, whose name alone is JEHOVAH, art the most high over all the earth.
