83:1 (亚萨的诗歌)神阿,求你不要静默。神阿,求你不要闭口,也不要不作声。
Keep not thou silence, O God: hold not thy peace, and be not still, O God.
83:2 因为你的仇敌喧囔。恨你的抬起头来。
For, lo, thine enemies make a tumult: and they that hate thee have lifted up the head.
83:3 他们同谋奸诈,要害你的百姓,彼此商议,要害你所隐藏的人。
They have taken crafty counsel against thy people, and consulted against thy hidden ones.
83:4 他们说,来吧,我们将他们剪灭,使他们不再成国。使以色列的名,不再被人记念。
They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation; that the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance.
83:5 他们同心商议,彼此结盟,要抵挡你。
For they have consulted together with one consent: they are confederate against thee:
83:6 就是住帐棚的以东人,和以实玛利人。摩押和夏甲人。
The tabernacles of Edom, and the Ishmaelites; of Moab, and the Hagarenes;
83:7 迦巴勒,亚扪,和亚玛力,非利士,并推罗的居民。
Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek; the Philistines with the inhabitants of Tyre;
83:8 亚述也与他们连合。他们作罗得子孙的帮手。(细拉)
Assur also is joined with them: they have holpen the children of Lot. Selah.
83:9 求你待他们如待米甸,如在基顺河待西西拉和耶宾一样。
Do unto them as unto the Midianites; as to Sisera, as to Jabin, at the brook of Kison:
83:10 他们在隐多珥灭亡,成了地上的粪土。
Which perished at Endor: they became as dung for the earth.
83:11 求你叫他们的首领,像俄立和西伊伯,叫他们的王子,都像西巴和撒慕拿。
Make their nobles like Oreb, and like Zeeb: yea, all their princes as Zebah, and as Zalmunna:
83:12 他们说,我们要得神的住处,作为自己的产业。
Who said, Let us take to ourselves the houses of God in possession.
83:13 我的神阿,求你叫他们像旋风的尘土,像风前的碎秸。
O my God, make them like a wheel; as the stubble before the wind.
83:14 火怎样焚烧树林,火焰怎样烧着山岭。
As the fire burneth a wood, and as the flame setteth the mountains on fire;
83:15 求你也照样用狂风追赶他们,用暴雨恐吓他们。
So persecute them with thy tempest, and make them afraid with thy storm.
83:16 愿你使他们满面羞耻,好叫他们寻求你耶和华的名。
Fill their faces with shame; that they may seek thy name, O LORD.
83:17 愿他们永远羞愧惊惶。愿他们惭愧灭亡。
Let them be confounded and troubled for ever; yea, let them be put to shame, and perish:
83:18 使他们知道惟独你名为耶和华的,是全地以上的至高者。
That men may know that thou, whose name alone is JEHOVAH, art the most high over all the earth.
诗篇83参考
古代有反神的联盟,现代是不是也有?
83:5-8 这里讲的反神联盟是指一些王纠集在一起,同约沙法和犹大百姓争战(参代下第20章)。这首诗的作者叫亚萨,但可以指亚萨或他的一个后裔。亚萨有一个后裔叫雅哈悉,预言了犹大的胜利(参代下20:13-17)。诗人说,这反犹大的联盟实际上就是反对神。因此雅哈悉说:“胜败不在乎你们,乃在乎神”(代下20:15)。神是“统治全地的至高者”(83:18),以色列的敌人也被认为是神的敌人。
83:6 夏甲人可能是夏甲的后裔(参创21:8-21)。
罗得,我们也认识的;至于他的后裔……
83:8-11 “罗得的后裔”指的是摩押人和亚扪人(参创19:36-38)。西西拉是迦南王耶宾的军队统帅,他被一个妇女所杀(参士4章)。西伊伯和俄立的故事,参看士师记7章25节;西巴和撒慕拿的故事参看士师记8章21节。
人在受围困时才寻求神的帮助,我是否也要到遭困时才求告神的名?
83:13-18 围困犹大的是外邦国家,他们希望犹大灭亡。诗人求神将这些国家像碎秸一样吹走,直到他们认识到主是全地的万王之王。有时候我们必须在逆境中谦卑才得以抬头见主;我们必须被击败才取得最后的胜利。在顺利的时候寻求主,难道不比等到审判临头更好吗?
