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！

[A song. A Psalm by Asaph.] God, do not be silent. Do not be deaf, and do not be inactive, God.

2 因为你的仇敌喧嚷， 恨你的抬起头来。

For, look, your enemies make an uproar. Those who hate you are hostile.

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。

They devise crafty plans against your people, and conspire together against your treasured ones.

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！

They say, "Come, and let us annihilate them as a nation; let the name of Israel may be remembered no more."

5 他们同心商议， 彼此结盟，要抵挡你，

For they plot a unified strategy; they make a covenant against you;

6 就是住帐棚的以东人和以实玛利人， 摩押和夏甲人，

the tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites, Moab, and the Hagrites,

7 迦巴勒、亚扪， 和亚玛力、非利士并泰尔的居民。

Gebal, Ammon, and Amalek, Philistia with the inhabitants of Tyre.

8 亚述也与他们连合； 他们作罗得子孙的帮手。 (细拉)

Assyria too is joined with them; they lend support to the descendants of Lot. (Selah)

9 求你待他们，如待米甸， 如在基顺河待西西拉和耶宾一样。

Do to them as you did to Midian, as to Sisera, as to Jabin at the Kishon River,

10 他们在隐·多珥灭亡， 成了地上的粪土。

who were destroyed at Endor, who became manure for the ground.

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。

Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb, all their princes like Zebah and Zalmunna,

12 他们说：我们要得 神的住处， 作为自己的产业。

who said, "Let us take possession for ourselves the pastures of God."

13 我的 神啊，求你叫他们像旋风的尘土， 像风前的碎秸。

My God, make them like tumbleweed; like dead weeds blown by the wind.

14 火怎样焚烧树林， 火焰怎样烧着山岭，

Like a fire that consumes a forest, and like the flames that consume the mountains,

15 求你也照样用狂风追赶他们， 用暴雨恐吓他们。

so pursue them with your gale winds, and terrify them with your storm.

16 愿你使他们满面羞耻， 好叫他们寻求你—耶和华的名！

Cover their faces with shame, so that they might seek your name, Jehovah.

17 愿他们永远羞愧惊惶！ 愿他们惭愧灭亡！

Let them be put to shame and terrified forever; let them perish in disgrace,

18 使他们知道：惟独你— 名为耶和华的—是全地以上的至高者！

that they will know that you alone, whose name is Jehovah, are the Most High over all the earth.
