Psalmorum 83
1 Canticum Psalmi Asaph. Deus, quis similis erit tibi? ne taceas, neque compescaris Deus:
“A psalm of Asaph.” O God! keep not silence! 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 roar, And they who hate thee lift up their heads.
3 Super populum tuum malignaverunt consilium: et cogitaverunt adversus sanctos tuos.
For they form secret plots against thy people, And consult together against thy chosen ones.
4 Dixerunt: Venite, et disperdamus eos de gente: et non memoretur nomen Israel ultra.
“Come,” say they, “let us blot them out from the number of the nations, That the name of Israel may no more be remembered!”
5 Quoniam cogitaverunt unanimiter: simul adversum te testamentum disposuerunt,
With one consent they consult together, Against thee do they form a league, —
6 tabernacula Idumaeorum et Ismahelitae: Moab, et Agareni,
The tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites, Of Moab and the Hagarenes,
7 Gebal, et Ammon, et Amalec: alienigenae cum habitantibus Tyrum.
Gebal and Ammon and Amalek, The Philistines, with the inhabitants of Tyre.
8 Etenim Assur venit cum illis: facti sunt in adiutorium filiis Lot.
The Assyrians also are joined with them; They lend their strength to the children of Lot.
9 Fac illis sicut Madian et Sisarae: sicut Iabin in torrente Cisson.
Do to them as to the Midianites, As to Sisera, as to Jabin at the brook Kison,
10 Disperierunt in Endor: facti sunt ut stercus terrae.
Who perished at Endor, And were trampled like dung to the earth.
11 Pone principes eorum sicut Oreb, et Zeb, et Zebee, et Salmana: Omnes principes eorum:
Make their chiefs like Oreb and Zeeb; Yea, all their princes as Zeba and Zalmunna!
12 qui dixerunt: Hereditate possideamus Sanctuarium Dei.
Who say, “Let us seize on God's habitations!”
13 Deus meus pone illos ut rotam: et sicut stipulam ante faciem venti.
Make them, O my God! like whirling chaff; Like stubble before the wind!
14 Sicut ignis, qui comburit silvam: et sicut flamma comburens montes:
As fire consumeth the forest, And as flame setteth the mountains in a blaze,
15 Ita persequeris illos in tempestate tua: et in ira tua turbabis eos.
So pursue them with thy tempest, And terrify them with thy storm!
16 Imple facies eorum ignominia: et quaerent nomen tuum, Domine.
Cover their faces with shame, That they may seek thy name, O LORD!
17 Erubescant, et conturbentur in saeculum saeculi: et confundantur, et pereant.
Let them be confounded! Yea, let them be put to shame, and perish!
18 Et cognoscant quia nomen tibi Dominus: tu solus Altissimus in omni terra.
That they may know that thy name alone is Jehovah; That thou art the Most High over all the earth.
