Psalms 83

1 A song. A Psalm by Asaph. God, do not keep silent. Do not keep silent, and do not be still, God.

The song of the salm of Asaph. God, who schal be lijk thee? God, be thou not stille, nether be thou peesid.

2 For, behold, your enemies are stirred up. Those who hate you have lifted up their heads.

For lo! thin enemyes sowneden; and thei that haten thee reisiden the heed.

3 They conspire with cunning against your people. They plot against your cherished ones.

Thei maden a wickid counsel on thi puple; and thei thouyten ayens thi seyntis.

4 “Come,” they say, “let’s destroy them as a nation, that the name of Israel may be remembered no more.”

Thei seiden, Come ye, and leese we hem fro the folk; and the name of Israel be no more hadde in mynde.

5 For they have conspired together with one mind. They form an alliance against you.

For thei thouyten with oon acord;

6 The tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites; Moab, and the Hagrites;

the tabernaclis of Ydumeys, and men of Ismael disposiden a testament togidere ayens thee. Moab, and Agarenus, Jebal, and Amon, and Amalech;

7 Gebal, Ammon, and Amalek; Philistia with the inhabitants of Tyre;

alienys with hem that dwellen in Tyre.

8 Assyria also is joined with them. They have helped the children of Lot. (Selah)

For Assur cometh with hem; thei ben maad in to help to the sones of Loth.

9 Do to them as you did to Midian, as to Sisera, as to Jabin, at the river Kishon;

Make thou to hem as to Madian, and Sisara; as to Jabyn in the stronde of Sison.

10 who perished at Endor, who became as dung for the earth.

Thei perischiden in Endor; thei weren maad as a toord of erthe.

11 Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb, yes, all their princes like Zebah and Zalmunna,

Putte thou the prynces of hem as Oreb and Zeb; and Zebee and Salmana. Alle the princis of hem, that seiden;

12 who said, “Let’s take possession of God’s pasture lands.”

Holde we bi eritage the seyntuarie of God.

13 My God, make them like tumbleweed, like chaff before the wind.

My God, putte thou hem as a whele; and as stobil bifor the face of the wynde.

14 As the fire that burns the forest, as the flame that sets the mountains on fire,

As fier that brenneth a wode; and as flawme brynnynge hillis.

15 so pursue them with your tempest, and terrify them with your storm.

So thou schalt pursue hem in thi tempeste; and thou schalt disturble hem in thin ire.

16 Fill their faces with confusion, that they may seek your name, LORD.

Lord, fille thou the faces of hem with schenschipe; and thei schulen seke thi name.

17 Let them be disappointed and dismayed forever. Yes, let them be confounded and perish;

Be thei aschamed, and be thei disturblid in to world of world; and be thei schent and perische thei.

18 that they may know that you alone, whose name is the LORD, are the Most High over all the earth.

And knowe thei, that the Lord is name to thee; thou aloone art the hiyeste in ech lond.
