詩篇 83
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)
祈求上帝擊敗仇敵
亞薩的詩。
83 上帝啊,求你不要緘默無聲,
一言不發。
2 看啊,你的敵人在喧嚷,
恨你的人趾高氣揚。
3 他們用詭計害你的子民,
他們一起謀害你所疼愛的人。
4 他們說:
「來吧,讓我們剷除以色列,
讓他們亡國,被人遺忘。」
5 他們串通一氣,
勾結起來抵擋你。
6 他們是以東人、以實瑪利人、摩押人、夏甲人、
7 迦巴勒人、亞捫人、亞瑪力人、非利士人和泰爾人。
8 亞述也跟他們勾結,
要助羅得的後代一臂之力。(細拉)
9 求你對付他們,
如同對付米甸人和基順河邊的西西拉與耶賓。
10 他們在隱·多珥滅亡,
成了地上的糞土。
11 求你使他們的首領得到俄立和西伊伯那樣的下場,
使他們的王侯得到西巴和撒慕拿那樣的下場。
12 他們曾說:
「讓我們奪取上帝的草場吧。」
13 我的上帝啊,求你把他們驅散,
如同狂風吹散塵土和碎稭。
14 烈火怎樣燒毀森林,
火焰怎樣吞沒山嶺,
15 求你也照樣用狂風追趕他們,
用暴雨恐嚇他們。
16 耶和華啊,
求你使他們滿面羞愧,
這樣他們才會來尋求你。
17 願他們永遠羞愧驚恐,
願他們在恥辱中滅亡。
18 讓他們知道你是耶和華,
唯有你是普天下的至高者。
Psalm 83
New International Version
Psalm 83[a]
A song. A psalm of Asaph.
1 O God, do not remain silent;(A)
do not turn a deaf ear,
do not stand aloof, O God.
2 See how your enemies growl,(B)
how your foes rear their heads.(C)
3 With cunning they conspire(D) against your people;
they plot against those you cherish.(E)
4 “Come,” they say, “let us destroy(F) them as a nation,(G)
so that Israel’s name is remembered(H) no more.”
5 With one mind they plot together;(I)
they form an alliance against you—
6 the tents of Edom(J) and the Ishmaelites,
of Moab(K) and the Hagrites,(L)
7 Byblos,(M) Ammon(N) and Amalek,(O)
Philistia,(P) with the people of Tyre.(Q)
8 Even Assyria(R) has joined them
to reinforce Lot’s descendants.[b](S)
9 Do to them as you did to Midian,(T)
as you did to Sisera(U) and Jabin(V) at the river Kishon,(W)
10 who perished at Endor(X)
and became like dung(Y) on the ground.
11 Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb,(Z)
all their princes like Zebah and Zalmunna,(AA)
12 who said, “Let us take possession(AB)
of the pasturelands of God.”

Psalm 83
New King James Version
Prayer to Frustrate Conspiracy Against Israel
A Song. A Psalm of Asaph.
83 Do(A) not keep silent, O God!
Do not hold Your peace,
And do not be still, O God!
2 For behold, (B)Your enemies make a [a]tumult;
And those who hate You have [b]lifted up their head.
3 They have taken crafty counsel against Your people,
And consulted together (C)against Your sheltered ones.
4 They have said, “Come, and (D)let us cut them off from being a nation,
That the name of Israel may be remembered no more.”
5 For they have consulted together with one [c]consent;
They [d]form a confederacy against You:
6 (E)The tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites;
Moab and the Hagrites;
7 Gebal, Ammon, and Amalek;
Philistia with the inhabitants of Tyre;
8 Assyria also has joined with them;
They have helped the children of Lot. Selah
9 Deal with them as with (F)Midian,
As with (G)Sisera,
As with Jabin at the Brook Kishon,
10 Who perished at En Dor,
(H)Who became as refuse on the earth.
11 Make their nobles like (I)Oreb and like Zeeb,
Yes, all their princes like (J)Zebah and Zalmunna,
12 Who said, “Let us take for ourselves
The pastures of God for a possession.”
13 (K)O my God, make them like the whirling dust,
(L)Like the chaff before the wind!
14 As the fire burns the woods,
And as the flame (M)sets the mountains on fire,
15 So pursue them with Your tempest,
And frighten them with Your storm.
16 Fill their faces with shame,
That they may seek Your name, O Lord.
17 Let them be [e]confounded and dismayed forever;
Yes, let them be put to shame and perish,
18 (N)That they may know that You, whose (O)name alone is the Lord,
Are (P)the Most High over all the earth.
