Psalms 83

DOUAI-RHEIMS	NEW JERUSALEM
1 A canticle of a psalm for Asaph.	1 [Song Psalm Of Asaph] God, do not remain silent, do not stay quiet or unmoved, God!
2 O God, who shall be like to thee? hold not thy peace, neither be thou still, O God.	2 See how your enemies are in uproar, how those who hate you are rearing their heads.
3 For lo, thy enemies have made a noise: and they that hate thee have lifted up the head.	3 They are laying plans against your people, conspiring against those you cherish;
4 They have taken a malicious counsel against thy people, and have consulted against thy saints.	4 they say, 'Come, let us annihilate them as a nation, the name of Israel shall be remembered no more!'
5 They have said: Come and let us destroy them, so that they be not a nation: and let the name of Israel be remembered no more.	5 They conspire with a single mind, they conclude an al iance against you,
6 For they have contrived with one consent: they have made a covenant together against thee,	6 the tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites, Moab and the Hagrites,
7 the tabernacles of the Edomites, and the Ismahelites: Moab, and the Agarens,	7 Gebal, Ammon, Amalek, Philistia and the Tyrians;
8 Gebal, and Ammon and Amalec: the Philistines, with the inhabitants of Tyre.	8 even Assyria has joined them to reinforce the children of Lot.Pause
9 Yea, and the Assyrian also is joined with them: they are come to the aid of the sons of Lot.	9 Treat them like Midian and Sisera, like Jabin at the river Kishon;
10 Do to them as thou didst to Madian and to Sisara: as to Jabin at the brook of Cisson.	10 wiped out at En-Dor, they served to manure the ground.
11 Who perished at Endor: and became as dung for the earth.	11 Treat their leaders like Oreb and Zeeb, al their commanders like Zebah and Zalmunna,
12 Make their princes like Oreb, and Zeb, and Zebee, and Salmana. All their princes,	12 for they said, 'Let us take for ourselves God's settlements.'
13 who have said: Let us possess the sanctuary of God for an inheritance.	13 My God, treat them like thistledown, like chaff at the mercy of the wind.
14 O my God, make them like a wheel; and as stubble before the wind.	14 As fire devours a forest, as a flame sets mountains ablaze,
15 As fire which burneth the wood: and as a flame burning mountains:	15 so drive them away with your tempest, by your whirlwind fill them with terror.
16 So shalt thou pursue them with thy tempest: and shalt trouble them in thy wrath.	16 Shame written al over their faces, let them seek your name, Yahweh!
17 Fill their faces with shame; and they shall seek thy name, O Lord.	17 Dishonour and terror be always theirs, death also and destruction.
18 Let them be ashamed and troubled for ever and ever: and let them be confounded and perish.	18 Let them know that you alone bear the name of Yahweh, Most High over al the earth.
19 And let them know that the Lord is thy name: thou alone art the most High over all the earth.
