Psalms 83

NEW JERUSALEM	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 [Song Psalm Of Asaph] God, do not remain silent, do not stay quiet or unmoved, God!	1 Unto the end. For the wine and oil presses. A Psalm to the sons of Korah.
2 See how your enemies are in uproar, how those who hate you are rearing their heads.	2 How beloved are your tabernacles, O Lord of hosts!
3 They are laying plans against your people, conspiring against those you cherish;	3 My soul longs and faints for the courts of the Lord. My heart and my flesh have exulted in the living God.
4 they say, 'Come, let us annihilate them as a nation, the name of Israel shall be remembered no more!'	4 For even the sparrow has found a home for himself, and the turtle-dove a nest for herself, where she may lay her young: your altars, O Lord of hosts, my king and my God.
5 They conspire with a single mind, they conclude an al iance against you,	5 Blessed are those who dwell in your house, O Lord. They will praise you from age to age.
6 the tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites, Moab and the Hagrites,	6 Blessed is the man whose help is from you. In his heart, he is disposed to ascend
7 Gebal, Ammon, Amalek, Philistia and the Tyrians;	7 from the valley of tears, from the place which he has determined.
8 even Assyria has joined them to reinforce the children of Lot.Pause	8 For even the lawgiver will provide a blessing; they will go from virtue to virtue. The God of gods will be seen in Zion.
9 Treat them like Midian and Sisera, like Jabin at the river Kishon;	9 O Lord, God of hosts, hear my prayer. Pay attention, O God of Jacob.
10 wiped out at En-Dor, they served to manure the ground.	10 O God, gaze upon our protector, and look upon the face of your Christ.
11 Treat their leaders like Oreb and Zeeb, al their commanders like Zebah and Zalmunna,	11 For one day in your courts is better than thousands elsewhere. I have chosen to be lowly in the house of my God, rather than to dwell in the tabernacles of sinners.
12 for they said, 'Let us take for ourselves God's settlements.'	12 For God loves mercy and truth. The Lord will give grace and glory.
13 My God, treat them like thistledown, like chaff at the mercy of the wind.	13 He will not withhold good things from those who walk in innocence. O Lord of hosts, blessed is the man who hopes in you.
14 As fire devours a forest, as a flame sets mountains ablaze,
15 so drive them away with your tempest, by your whirlwind fill them with terror.
16 Shame written al over their faces, let them seek your name, Yahweh!
17 Dishonour and terror be always theirs, death also and destruction.
18 Let them know that you alone bear the name of Yahweh, Most High over al the earth.
