祈求 神消灭周围敌国

歌一首,亚萨的诗。

83  神啊!求你不要静默;

 神啊!求你不要闭口,也不要一言不发。

看哪!你的仇敌喧哗,

恨你的人都抬起头来。

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。

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。”

他们同心商议,

彼此结盟,要和你对抗。

他们就是住帐棚的以东人和以实玛利人,

摩押人和夏甲人,

迦巴勒、亚扪、亚玛力、

非利士和推罗的居民。

亚述也和他们联合起来,

作了罗得子孙的帮手。(细拉)

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。

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!
For behold, (B)Your enemies make a [a]tumult;
And those who hate You have [b]lifted up their head.
They have taken crafty counsel against Your people,
And consulted together (C)against Your sheltered ones.
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.”

For they have consulted together with one [c]consent;
They [d]form a confederacy against You:
(E)The tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites;
Moab and the Hagrites;
Gebal, Ammon, and Amalek;
Philistia with the inhabitants of Tyre;
Assyria also has joined with them;
They have helped the children of Lot. Selah

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.

Psalm 83

Surrounded by Enemies

Heading
A song. A psalm by Asaph.

Opening Plea

God, do not keep silent.
Do not be deaf. Do not be quiet, God.

A Catalog of Enemies

Look! Your enemies are in an uproar,
and those who hate you have raised their head.
Against your people they devise deceptive schemes,
and they plot together against the people you treasure.
They say, “Come, let us wipe them out as a nation,
so the name of Israel will not be remembered anymore.”
Indeed, with one mind they plot together.
They form an alliance against you—
the tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites,
Moab and the Hagrites,
Gebal[a] and Ammon and Amalek,
Philistia, with the inhabitants of Tyre.
Even Ashshur has joined with them. Interlude
They have become the arm of the sons of Lot.[b]

Prayer for Destruction of the Enemies

Do to them as you did to Midian,
as you did to Sisera and Jabin at the stream Kishon.
10 They perished at Endor.
They became like manure for the ground.
11 Make their nobles like Oreb and like Zeeb,
all their princes like Zebah and Zalmunna,
12 who said, “Let us take possession of God’s pastures for ourselves.”
13 My God, make them like tumbleweed,
like chaff before the wind.
14 As fire burns the forest,
or as a flame sets the mountains on fire,
15 so pursue them with your violent wind,
and terrify them with your storm.
16 Fill their faces with shame
so that they will seek your name, O Lord.
17 May they be ashamed and terrified forever.
May they be disgraced and perish.
18 Let them know that you, whose name is the Lord,
you alone are the Most High over all the earth.
