因敌谋绝选民求神使之灭亡

83 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!
因为你的仇敌喧嚷,恨你的抬起头来。
他们同谋奸诈,要害你的百姓;彼此商议,要害你所隐藏的人。
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。”
他们同心商议,彼此结盟,要抵挡你。
就是住帐篷的以东人和以实玛利人,摩押夏甲人,
迦巴勒亚扪亚玛力非利士,并推罗的居民。
亚述也与他们联合,他们做罗得子孙的帮手。(细拉)
求你待他们如待米甸,如在基顺河待西西拉耶宾一样,
10 他们在隐多珥灭亡,成了地上的粪土。
11 求你叫他们的首领像俄立西伊伯,叫他们的王子都像西巴撒慕拿
12 他们说:“我们要得神的住处,作为自己的产业。”
13 我的神啊,求你叫他们像旋风的尘土,像风前的碎秸。
14 火怎样焚烧树林,火焰怎样烧着山岭,
15 求你也照样用狂风追赶他们,用暴雨恐吓他们。
16 愿你使他们满面羞耻,好叫他们寻求你耶和华的名。
17 愿他们永远羞愧惊惶,愿他们惭愧灭亡,
18 使他们知道,唯独你,名为耶和华的,是全地以上的至高者。

祈求上帝击败仇敌

亚萨的诗。

83 上帝啊,求你不要缄默无声,
一言不发。
看啊,你的敌人在喧嚷,
恨你的人趾高气扬。
他们用诡计害你的子民,
他们一起谋害你所疼爱的人。
他们说:
“来吧,让我们铲除以色列,
让他们亡国,被人遗忘。”
他们串通一气,
勾结起来抵挡你。
他们是以东人、以实玛利人、摩押人、夏甲人、
迦巴勒人、亚扪人、亚玛力人、非利士人和泰尔人。
亚述也跟他们勾结,
要助罗得的后代一臂之力。(细拉)
求你对付他们,
如同对付米甸人和基顺河边的西西拉与耶宾。
10 他们在隐·多珥灭亡,
成了地上的粪土。
11 求你使他们的首领得到俄立和西伊伯那样的下场,
使他们的王侯得到西巴和撒慕拿那样的下场。
12 他们曾说:
“让我们夺取上帝的草场吧。”
13 我的上帝啊,求你把他们驱散,
如同狂风吹散尘土和碎秸。
14 烈火怎样烧毁森林,
火焰怎样吞没山岭,
15 求你也照样用狂风追赶他们,
用暴雨恐吓他们。
16 耶和华啊,
求你使他们满面羞愧,
这样他们才会来寻求你。
17 愿他们永远羞愧惊恐,
愿他们在耻辱中灭亡。
18 让他们知道你是耶和华,
唯有你是普天下的至高者。

A Request to Act against Israel’s Neighbors

A song. A psalm of Asaph.[a]

83 O God, do not rest silently.
Do not keep silent or be still, O God.
For look, your enemies roar,
and those who hate you have lifted their head.
They devise cunning schemes[b] against your people,
and consult together against your protected ones.[c]
They say, “Come, let us annihilate them from being a nation,
so that the name of Israel will be remembered no more.”
For they have consulted together with a unified purpose.[d]
They have made a covenant against you:
the tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites,
Moab and the Hagrites,
Gebal and Ammon and Amalek,
Philistia, with the inhabitants of Tyre.
Assyria also has joined with them.
They provide help[e] to the children of Lot. Selah
Do to them as you did with Midian,
as with Sisera, as with Jabin at the wadi of Kishon.
10 They were destroyed at En-dor;
they became dung for the ground.
11 Make their leaders like Oreb and Zeeb,
and all their chiefs like Zebah and Zalmunna,
12 who said, “Let us take as our possession
the pastures of God.”
13 O my God, make them like the tumbleweed,
like the chaff before wind.
14 As fire burns a forest,
and as a flame sets afire mountains,
15 so pursue them with your tempest
and terrify them with your storm.
16 Fill their faces with shame,
that they may seek your name, O Yahweh.
17 Let them be ashamed and terrified forever,
and let them be humiliated and perish
18 that they may know that you,
whose name is Yahweh, you alone,
are the Most High over the whole earth.
