Psalmorum 83
1 Canticum Psalmi Asaph. Deus, quis similis erit tibi? ne taceas, neque compescaris Deus:
A Song, — A Psalm of Asaph. O God, let there be no silence to Thee, Be not silent, nor be quiet, O God.
2 Quoniam ecce inimici tui sonuerunt: et qui oderunt te, extulerunt caput.
For, lo, Thine enemies do roar, And those hating Thee have lifted up the head,
3 Super populum tuum malignaverunt consilium: et cogitaverunt adversus sanctos tuos.
Against Thy people they take crafty counsel, And consult against Thy hidden ones.
4 Dixerunt: Venite, et disperdamus eos de gente: et non memoretur nomen Israel ultra.
They have said, 'Come, And we cut them off from [being] a nation, And the name of Israel is not remembered any more.'
5 Quoniam cogitaverunt unanimiter: simul adversum te testamentum disposuerunt,
For they consulted in heart together, Against Thee a covenant they make,
6 tabernacula Idumaeorum et Ismahelitae: Moab, et Agareni,
Tents of Edom, and Ishmaelites, Moab, and the Hagarenes,
7 Gebal, et Ammon, et Amalec: alienigenae cum habitantibus Tyrum.
Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek, Philistia with inhabitants of Tyre,
8 Etenim Assur venit cum illis: facti sunt in adiutorium filiis Lot.
Asshur also is joined with them, They have been an arm to sons of Lot. (Selah)
9 Fac illis sicut Madian et Sisarae: sicut Iabin in torrente Cisson.
Do to them as [to] Midian, As [to] Sisera, as [to] Jabin, at the stream Kishon.
10 Disperierunt in Endor: facti sunt ut stercus terrae.
They were destroyed at Endor, They were dung for the ground!
11 Pone principes eorum sicut Oreb, et Zeb, et Zebee, et Salmana: Omnes principes eorum:
Make their nobles as Oreb and as Zeeb, And as Zebah and Zalmunna all their princes,
12 qui dixerunt: Hereditate possideamus Sanctuarium Dei.
Who have said, 'Let us occupy for ourselves The comely places of God.'
13 Deus meus pone illos ut rotam: et sicut stipulam ante faciem venti.
O my God, make them as a rolling thing, As stubble before wind.
14 Sicut ignis, qui comburit silvam: et sicut flamma comburens montes:
As a fire doth burn a forest, And as a flame setteth hills on fire,
15 Ita persequeris illos in tempestate tua: et in ira tua turbabis eos.
So dost Thou pursue them with Thy whirlwind, And with Thy hurricane troublest them.
16 Imple facies eorum ignominia: et quaerent nomen tuum, Domine.
Fill their faces [with] shame, And they seek Thy name, O Jehovah.
17 Erubescant, et conturbentur in saeculum saeculi: et confundantur, et pereant.
They are ashamed and troubled for ever, Yea, they are confounded and lost.
18 Et cognoscant quia nomen tibi Dominus: tu solus Altissimus in omni terra.
And they know that Thou — (Thy name [is] Jehovah — by Thyself, ) [Art] the Most High over all the earth!
