Psalms 83

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 A song; a psalm of Asaph.	1 A canticle of a psalm for Asaph.
2 God, do not be silent; God, be not still and unmoved!	2 O God, who shall be like to thee? hold not thy peace, neither be thou still, O God.
3 See how your enemies rage; your foes proudly raise their heads.	3 For lo, thy enemies have made a noise: and they that hate thee have lifted up the head.
4 They conspire against your people, plot against those you protect.	4 They have taken a malicious counsel against thy people, and have consulted against thy saints.
5 They say, "Come, let us wipe out their nation; let Israel's name be mentioned 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.
6 They scheme with one mind, in league against you:	6 For they have contrived with one consent: they have made a covenant together against thee,
7 The tents of Ishmael and Edom, the people of Moab and Hagar,	7 the tabernacles of the Edomites, and the Ismahelites: Moab, and the Agarens,
8 Gebal, Ammon, and Amalek, Philistia and the inhabitants of Tyre.	8 Gebal, and Ammon and Amalec: the Philistines, with the inhabitants of Tyre.
9 Assyria, too, in league with them gives aid to the descendants of Lot. Selah	9 Yea, and the Assyrian also is joined with them: they are come to the aid of the sons of Lot.
10 Deal with them as with Midian; as with Sisera and Jabin at the torrent Kishon,	10 Do to them as thou didst to Madian and to Sisara: as to Jabin at the brook of Cisson.
11 Those destroyed at Endor, who became dung for the ground.	11 Who perished at Endor: and became as dung for the earth.
12 Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb, all their princes like Zebah and Zalmunna,	12 Make their princes like Oreb, and Zeb, and Zebee, and Salmana. All their princes,
13 Who made a plan together, "Let us seize the pastures of God."	13 who have said: Let us possess the sanctuary of God for an inheritance.
14 My God, turn them into withered grass, into chaff flying before the wind.	14 O my God, make them like a wheel; and as stubble before the wind.
15 As a fire raging through a forest, a flame setting mountains ablaze,	15 As fire which burneth the wood: and as a flame burning mountains:
16 Pursue them with your tempest; terrify them with your storm.	16 So shalt thou pursue them with thy tempest: and shalt trouble them in thy wrath.
17 Cover their faces with shame, till they pay you homage, LORD.	17 Fill their faces with shame; and they shall seek thy name, O Lord.
18 Let them be dismayed and shamed forever; let them perish in disgrace.	18 Let them be ashamed and troubled for ever and ever: and let them be confounded and perish.
19 Show them you alone are the LORD, the Most High over all the earth.	19 And let them know that the Lord is thy name: thou alone art the most High over all the earth.
