A Song of a Psalm for Asaph.
Ὠδὴ ψαλμοῦ τῷ Ἀσάφ.
O God, who shall be compared to thee? be not silent, neither be still, O God.
Ὁ Θεὸς, τίς ὁμοιωθήσεταί σοι; μὴ σιγήσῃς, μηδὲ καταπραΰνῃς ὁ Θεός.
For behold, thine enemies have made a noise; and they that hate thee have lifted up the head.
Ὅτι ἰδοὺ οἱ ἐχθροί σου ἤχησαν· καὶ οἱ μισοῦντές σε ᾖραν κεφαλήν.
Against thy people they have craftily imagined a device, and have taken counsel against thy saints.
Ἐπὶ τὸν λαόν σου κατεπανουργεύσαντο γνώμην, καὶ ἐβουλεύσαντο κατὰ τῶν ἁγίων σου.
They have said, Come, and let us utterly destroy them out of the nation; and let the name of Israel be remembered no more at all.
Εἶπαν, δεῦτε καὶ ἐξολοθρεύσωμεν αὐτοὺς ἐξ ἔθνους, καὶ οὐ μὴ μνησθῇ τὸ ὄνομα Ἰσραὴλ ἔτι.
For they have taken counsel together with one consent: they have made a confederacy against thee;
Ὅτι ἐβουλεύσαντο ἐν ὁμονοίᾳ ἐπιτοαυτὸ, κατὰ σοῦ διαθήκην διέθεντο·
even the tents of the Idumeans, and the Ismaelites; Moab, and the Agarenes;
Τὰ σκηνώματα τῶν Ἰδουμαίων καὶ οἱ Ἰσμαηλῖται, Μωὰβ καὶ οἱ Ἀγαρηνοὶ,
Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalec; the Philistines also, with them that dwell at Tyre.
Γεβὰλ καὶ Ἀμμὼν καὶ Ἀμαλὴκ, καὶ ἀλλόφυλοι μετὰ τῶν κατοικούντων Τύρον.
Yea, Assur too is come with them: they have become a help to the children of Lot. Pause.
Καὶ γὰρ καὶ Ἀσσοὺρ συμπαρεγένετο μετʼ αὐτῶν, ἐγενήθησαν εἰς ἀντίληψιν τοῖς υἱοῖς Λώτ· διάψαλμα.
Do thou to them as to Madiam, and to Sisera; as to Jabin at the brook of Kison.
Ποίησον αὐτοῖς ὡς τῇ Μαδιὰμ καὶ τῷ Σεισάρᾳ, ὡς τῷ Ἰαβεὶν ἐν τῷ χειμάῤῥῳ Κεισῶν.
They were utterly destroyed at Aendor: they became as dung for the earth.
Ἐξωλοθρεύθησαν ἐν Ἀενδὼρ, ἐγενήθησαν ὡσεὶ κόπρος τῇ γῇ.
Make their princes as Oreb and Zeb, and Zebee and Salmana; even all their princes:
Θοῦ τοὺς ἄρχοντας αὐτῶν ὡς τὸν Ὠρὴβ καὶ Ζὴβ καὶ Ζεβεὲ καὶ Σαλμανὰ, πάντας τοὺς ἄρχοντας αὐτῶν·
who said, Let us take to ourselves the altar of God as an inheritance.
Οἵτινες εἶπαν, κληρονομήσωμεν ἑαυτοῖς τὸ θυσιαστήριον τοῦ Θεοῦ.
O my God, make them as a wheel; as stubble before the face of the wind.
Ὁ Θεός μου θοῦ αὐτοὺς ὡς τροχὸν, ὡς καλάμην κατὰ πρόσωπον ἀνέμου.
As fire which shall burn up a wood, as the flame may consume the mountains;
Ὡσεὶ πῦρ ὃ διαφλέξει δρυμὸν, ὡσεὶ φλὸξ κατακαύσαι ὄρη·
so shalt thou persecute them with thy tempest, and trouble them in thine anger.
Οὕτως καταδιώξεις αὐτοὺς ἐν τῇ καταιγίδι σου, καὶ ἐν τῇ ὀργῇ σου ταράξεις αὐτούς.
Fill their faces with dishonour; so shall they seek thy name, O Lord.
Πλήρωσον τὰ πρόσωπα αὐτῶν ἀτιμίας, καὶ ζητήσουσι τὸ ὄνομά σου Κύριε.
Let them be ashamed and troubled for evermore; yea, let them be confounded and destroyed.
Αἰσχυνθήτωσαν καὶ ταραχθήτωσαν εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα τοῦ αἰῶνος, καὶ ἐντραπήτωσαν καὶ ἀπολέσθωσαν.
And let them know that thy name is Lord; that thou alone art Most High over all the earth.
Καὶ γνώτωσαν ὅτι ὄνομά σοι Κύριος· σὺ μόνος ὕψιστος ἐπὶ πᾶσαν τὴν γῆν.
