Psalms 阿撒夫的诗歌。 2 God, do not be silent; God, be not still and unmoved! 3 See how your enemies rage; your foes proudly raise their heads. 4 They conspire against your people, plot against those you protect. 5 They say, ＂Come, let us wipe out their nation; let Israel's name be mentioned no more!＂ 6 They scheme with one mind, in league against you: 7 2 The tents of Ishmael and Edom, the people of Moab and Hagar, 8 Gebal, Ammon, and Amalek, Philistia and the inhabitants of Tyre. 9 Assyria, too, in league with them gives aid to the descendants of Lot. Selah 10 3 Deal with them as with Midian; as with Sisera and Jabin at the torrent Kishon, 11 Those destroyed at Endor, who became dung for the ground. 他们都丧亡于恩多尔，全变成了田里的粪泥， 12 Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb, all their princes like Zebah and Zalmunna, 13 Who made a plan together, ＂Let us seize the pastures of God.＂ 因为他们都曾如此说过：我们去占领天主的住所。 14 My God, turn them into withered grass, into chaff flying before the wind. 我的天主，求你使他们象旋风卷起的落叶，求你使他们象狂风吹起的碎秸， 15 As a fire raging through a forest, a flame setting mountains ablaze, 好象被火磷焚烧的树林，又似被火焰燃烧的山陵； 16 Pursue them with your tempest; terrify them with your storm. 求你也这样以你的飓风驱散他们，以你的暴雨惊吓他们。 17 Cover their faces with shame, till they pay you homage, LORD. 上主，求你羞辱他们的面容，是为叫他们寻求你的圣名； 18 Let them be dismayed and shamed forever; let them perish in disgrace. 使他们永远受辱恐慌，叫他们个个蒙羞丧亡。 19 Show them you alone are the LORD, the Most High over all the earth. 从此，认识你的名号是雅威，惟有你在普天下至尊无对。 Footnotes（注解） 1 [Psalm 83] The community lament complains to God of the nations' attempts to wipe out the name of Israel (Psalm 83:1-8). The psalmist sees all Israel's enemies throughout its history united in a conspiracy (Psalm 83:2-8). May God destroy the current crop of enemies as the enemies of old were destroyed (Psalm 83:9-12), and may they be pursued until they acknowledge the name of Israel's God (Psalm 83:13-18). 2 [7-9] Apart from the Assyrians, all the nations listed here were neighbors of Israel. The people of . . . Hagar: a tribe of the desert regions east of Ammon and Moab (1 Chron 5:10, 19-22). Gebal is the Phoenician city of Byblos or perhaps a mountain region south of the Dead Sea. The descendants of Lot are Moab and Edom (Genesis 19:36-38 and Deut 2:9). These nations were never united against Israel in the same period; the psalm has lumped them all together. 3 [10-13] For the historical events, see Jdgs 4-8. |
