1 [A Song; a Psalm of Asaph.] O God, keep not silence; hold not thy peace, and be not still, O *God:2 For behold, thine enemies make a tumult; and they that hate thee lift up the head.3 They take crafty counsel against thy people, and consult against thy hidden ones:4 They say, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation, and let the name of Israel be mentioned no more.5 For they have consulted together with one heart: they have made an alliance together against thee.6 The tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites, Moab and the Hagarites;7 Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek; Philistia, with the inhabitants of Tyre;8 Asshur also is joined with them: they are an arm to the sons of Lot. Selah.9 Do unto them as to Midian; as to Sisera, as to Jabin, at the torrent of Kishon:10 Who were destroyed at Endor; they became as dung for the ground.11 Make their nobles as Oreb and as Zeeb; and all their chiefs as Zebah and as Zalmunna.12 For they have said, Let us take to ourselves God's dwelling-places in possession.13 O my God, make them like a whirling thing, like stubble before the wind.14 As fire burneth a forest, and as the flame setteth the mountains on fire,15 So pursue them with thy tempest, and terrify them with thy whirlwind.16 Fill their faces with shame, that they may seek thy name, O Jehovah.17 Let them be put to shame and be dismayed for ever, and let them be confounded and perish:18 That they may know that thou alone, whose name is Jehovah, art the Most High over all the earth.

1 'n Lied. 'n Psalm van Asaf.2 o God, hou U nie stil nie, swyg nie en rus nie, o God!3 Want kyk, u vyande maak rumoer, en u haters steek die hoof op.4 Teen u volk smee hulle listig 'n plan en hou onder mekaar raad teen u verborgenes.5 Hulle sê: Kom, laat ons hulle vernietig, dat hulle geen volk meer is nie, sodat aan die naam van Israel nie meer gedink word nie.6 Want hulle het van harte saam raad gehou; teen U sluit hulle 'n verbond:7 die tente van Edom en die Ismaeliete, Moab en die Hagareners,8 Gebal en Ammon, en Amalek, Filist,a saam met die inwoners van Tirus.9 Ook het Assur by hulle aangesluit; hulle is 'n arm vir die kinders van Lot. Sela.10 Maak met hulle soos met M¡dian, soos met S¡sera, soos met Jabin by die spruit Kison:11 hulle is verdelg by Endor, hulle het mis geword vir die grond.12 Maak hulle, hul edeles, soos Oreb en Seëb, en al hulle vorste soos Seba en Salmuna,13 wat sê: Laat ons die woninge van God vir ons in besit neem!14 My God, maak hulle soos strooi, soos stoppels voor die wind.15 Soos vuur wat 'n bos verbrand, en soos die vlam wat berge aan die brand steek --16 vervolg hulle so met u storm en verskrik hulle met u stormwind.17 Oordek hulle aangesig met skande, dat hulle u Naam kan soek, o HERE!18 Laat hulle beskaamd staan en verskrik wees vir ewig, en laat hulle rooi van skaamte word en omkom; [ (Psalms 83:19) sodat hulle kan weet dat U, wie se Naam HERE is, alleen die Allerhoogste is oor die hele aarde. ]
