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。
Psalm 83
EasyEnglish Bible
This psalm is a song that Asaph wrote.
Israel's enemies
83 God, do not continue to be silent!
Do not remain quiet.
Please do something!
2 Look! Your enemies are causing trouble.
The people who hate you are ready to attack.
3 They decide carefully how they will attack your people.
They want to hurt the people that you love.
4 They say, ‘Come now! We will destroy them.
They will no longer be a nation.
Nobody will remember the name of Israel any more.’
5 They agree together what they will do.
They join one another to fight against you.
6 Those enemies are Edomites and Ishmaelites,
Moabites and Hagrites.
7 They also come from Gebal, Ammon and Amalek,
Philistia and Tyre.
8 Even the Assyrian army has joined with them.
They have given strength to Lot's descendants,
the Moabites and the Ammonites.
Selah.
9 God, punish them as you punished Midian.
Do what you did to Sisera and Jabin at the River Kishon.[a]
10 You destroyed them at Endor.
Their bodies remained on the ground, like dirt.
11 Do to their leaders
what you did to Oreb and Zeeb.
Let their rulers die,
like Zebah and Zalmunna.[b]
12 Those people said,
‘Let us take God's valuable country for ourselves!’
13 God, blow them away like dust,
like chaff that blows away in the wind!
14 Go after them,
like a fire that burns both forest and mountains.
15 Chase them away with your storms.
Frighten them with your strong winds.
16 Cause them to be very ashamed, Lord,
so that they might turn to you.
17 May they always be ashamed and frightened.
Let them die with shame![c]
18 Then they will understand that you are the Lord.
They will know that you are the Most High God
who rules over all the earth.
