Psalms 83

A Song or Psalm of Asaph.

1 Keep not thou silence, O God: hold not thy peace, and be not still, O God.*83.1 of Asaph: or, for Asaph

2 For, lo, thine enemies make a tumult: and they that hate thee have lifted up the head.

3 They have taken crafty counsel against thy people, and consulted against thy hidden ones.

4 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 For they have consulted together with one consent: they are confederate against thee:*83.5 consent: Heb. heart

6 The tabernacles of Edom, and the Ishmaelites; of Moab, and the Hagarenes;

7 Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek; the Philistines with the inhabitants of Tyre;

8 Assur also is joined with them: they have holpen the children of Lot. Selah.*83.8 holpen: Heb. been an arm to

9 Do unto them as unto the Midianites; as to Sisera, as to Jabin, at the brook of Kison:

10 Which perished at Endor: they became as dung for the earth.

11 Make their nobles like Oreb, and like Zeeb: yea, all their princes as Zebah, and as Zalmunna:

12 Who said, Let us take to ourselves the houses of God in possession.

13 O my God, make them like a wheel; as the stubble before the wind.

14 As the fire burneth a wood, and as the flame setteth the mountains on fire;

15 So persecute them with thy tempest, and make them afraid with thy storm.

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

17 Let them be confounded and troubled for ever; yea, let them be put to shame, and perish:

18 That men may know that thou, whose name alone is JEHOVAH, art the most high over all the earth.

祈求 神消灭周围敌国

歌一首，亚萨的诗。 1 　神啊！求你不要静默；

神啊！求你不要闭口，也不要一言不发。

2 看哪！你的仇敌喧哗，

恨你的人都抬起头来。

3 他们密谋奸诈，陷害你的子民；

他们彼此商议，攻击你所宝贵的人。

4 他们说："来吧！我们来把他们除灭，使他们不再成国，

使以色列的名不再被人记念。"

5 他们同心商议，

彼此结盟，要和你对抗。

6 他们就是住帐棚的以东人和以实玛利人，

摩押人和夏甲人，

7 迦巴勒、亚扪、亚玛力、

非利士和推罗的居民。

8 亚述也和他们联合起来，

作了罗得子孙的帮手。*细拉

9 求你待他们好象待米甸人，

像在基顺河待西西拉和耶宾一样；

10 他们都在隐．多珥被消灭，

成了地上的粪土。

11 求你使他们的贵族像俄立和西伊伯，

使他们的王子像西巴和撒慕拿。

12 他们曾说：

"我们要得着　神的牧场作自己的产业。"

13 我的　神啊！求你使他们像旋风卷起的草，

像风前的碎秸。

14 火怎样焚烧树林，

火焰怎样燃烧群山，

15 求你也照样用狂风追赶他们，

藉暴风雨惊吓他们。

16 耶和华啊！求你使他们满面羞愧，

好使他们寻求你的名。

17 愿他们永远受辱惊惶，

愿他们抱愧灭亡。

18 使他们知道只有你的名是耶和华，

唯有你是掌管全地的至高者。
