诗篇83:
1(亚萨的诗歌。)神啊,求你不要静默。神啊,求你不要闭口,也不要不作声。
2因为你的仇敌喧嚷。恨你的抬起头来。
3他们同谋奸诈,要害你的百姓,彼此商议,要害你所隐藏的人。
4他们说,来吧,我们将他们剪灭,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,要抵挡你。
6就是住帐棚的以东人,和以实玛利人。摩押和夏甲人。
7迦巴勒,亚扪,和亚玛力,非利士,并推罗的居民。
8亚述也与他们连合。他们作罗得子孙的帮手。(细拉)
9求你待他们如待米甸,如在基顺河待西西拉和耶宾一样。
10他们在隐多珥灭亡,成了地上的粪土。
11求你叫他们的首领,像俄立和西伊伯,叫他们的王子,都像西巴和撒慕拿。
12他们说,我们要得神的住处,作为自己的产业。
13我的神啊,求你叫他们像旋风的尘土,像风前的碎秸。
14火怎样焚烧树林,火焰怎样烧着山岭。
15求你也照样用狂风追赶他们,用暴雨恐吓他们。
16愿你使他们满面羞耻,好叫他们寻求你耶和华的名。
17愿他们永远羞愧惊惶。愿他们惭愧灭亡。
18使他们知道惟独你名为耶和华的,是全地以上的至高者。
1O God, do not be silent!Do not be deaf.Do not be quiet, O God.
2Don’t you hear the uproar of your enemies?Don’t you see that your arrogant enemies are rising up?
3They devise crafty schemes against your people;they conspire against your precious ones.
4“Come,” they say, “let us wipe out Israel as a nation.We will destroy the very memory of its existence.”
5Yes, this was their unanimous decision.They signed a treaty as allies against you—
6these Edomites and Ishmaelites;Moabites and Hagrites;
7Gebalites, Ammonites, and Amalekites;and people from Philistia and Tyre.
8Assyria has joined them, too,and is allied with the descendants of Lot. Interlude
9Do to them as you did to the Midianitesand as you did to Sisera and Jabin at the Kishon River.
10They were destroyed at Endor,and their decaying corpses fertilized the soil.
11Let their mighty nobles die as Oreb and Zeeb did.Let all their princes die like Zebah and Zalmunna,
12for they said, “Let us seize for our own usethese pasturelands of God!”
13O my God, scatter them like tumbleweed,like chaff before the wind!
14As a fire burns a forestand as a flame sets mountains ablaze,
15chase them with your fierce storm;terrify them with your tempest.
16Utterly disgrace themuntil they submit to your name, O Lord.
17Let them be ashamed and terrified forever.Let them die in disgrace.
18Then they will learn that you alone are called the Lord,that you alone are the Most High,supreme over all the earth.
