Psalm 83
Holman Christian Standard Bible
Psalm 83
Prayer against Enemies
A song. A psalm of Asaph.(A)
1 God, do not keep silent.
Do not be deaf, God; do not be idle.(B)
2 See how Your enemies make an uproar;
those who hate You have acted arrogantly.[a](C)
3 They devise clever schemes against Your people;
they conspire against Your treasured ones.(D)
4 They say, “Come, let us wipe them out as a nation
so that Israel’s name will no longer be remembered.”(E)
5 For they have conspired with one mind;
they form an alliance[b] against You(F)—
6 the tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites,(G)
Moab and the Hagrites,(H)
7 Gebal, Ammon, and Amalek,(I)
Philistia with the inhabitants of Tyre.(J)
8 Even Assyria has joined them;
they lend support[c] to the sons of Lot.[d](K)
9 Deal with them as You did with Midian,(L)
as You did with Sisera
and Jabin at the Kishon River.(M)
10 They were destroyed at En-dor;
they became manure for the ground.(N)
11 Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb,(O)
and all their tribal leaders like Zebah and Zalmunna,(P)
12 who said, “Let us seize God’s pastures for ourselves.”(Q)
13 Make them like tumbleweed, my God,
like straw before the wind.(R)
14 As fire burns a forest,
as a flame blazes through mountains,(S)
15 so pursue them with Your tempest
and terrify them with Your storm.(T)
16 Cover their faces with shame
so that they will seek Your name Yahweh.(U)
17 Let them be put to shame and terrified forever;
let them perish in disgrace.(V)
18 May they know that You alone—
whose name is Yahweh—
are the Most High over all the earth.(W)

诗篇 83
Chinese New Version (Traditional)
祈求 神消滅周圍敵國
歌一首，亞薩的詩。
83 神啊！求你不要靜默；
神啊！求你不要閉口，也不要一言不發。
2 看哪！你的仇敵喧嘩，
恨你的人都抬起頭來。
3 他們密謀奸詐，陷害你的子民；
他們彼此商議，攻擊你所寶貴的人。
4 他們說：“來吧！我們來把他們除滅，使他們不再成國，
使以色列的名不再被人記念。”
5 他們同心商議，
彼此結盟，要和你對抗。
6 他們就是住帳棚的以東人和以實瑪利人，
摩押人和夏甲人，
7 迦巴勒、亞捫、亞瑪力、
非利士和推羅的居民。
8 亞述也和他們聯合起來，
作了羅得子孫的幫手。（細拉）
9 求你待他們好像待米甸人，
像在基順河待西西拉和耶賓一樣；
10 他們都在隱．多珥被消滅，
成了地上的糞土。
11 求你使他們的貴族像俄立和西伊伯，
使他們的王子像西巴和撒慕拿。
12 他們曾說：
“我們要得著 神的牧場作自己的產業。”
13 我的 神啊！求你使他們像旋風捲起的草，
像風前的碎稭。
14 火怎樣焚燒樹林，
火燄怎樣燃燒群山，
15 求你也照樣用狂風追趕他們，
藉暴風雨驚嚇他們。
16 耶和華啊！求你使他們滿面羞愧，
好使他們尋求你的名。
17 願他們永遠受辱驚惶，
願他們抱愧滅亡。
18 使他們知道只有你的名是耶和華，
唯有你是掌管全地的至高者。
