An ancient book of Psalms found in an Irish Bog, was opened to Psalm 83. The book was found open to a page describing, in black-letter Latin script, Psalm 83, in which God hears complaints of other nations' attempts to wipe out the name of Israel.
"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."
Psalm 83:
1 Keep not thou silence, O God: hold not thy peace, and be not still, O God.
2 For, lo, thine enemies make a tumult: and they that hate thee have lifted up the head.
3 They have taken crafty counsel against thy people, and consulted against thy hidden ones.
4 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.
5 For they have consulted together with one consent: they are confederate against thee: 6 The tabernacles of Edom, and the Ishmaelites; of Moab, and the Hagarenes; Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek; the Philistines with the inhabitants of Tyre; Assur also is joined with them: they have holpen the children of Lot. Selah.
Ancient psalms book found in Irish bog

DUBLIN -- Irish archeologists Tuesday heralded the discovery of an ancient book of psalms by a construction worker who spotted something while driving the shovel of his backhoe into a bog.
The approximately 20-page book has been dated to the years 800 to 1000. Trinity College manuscripts expert Bernard Meehan said it was the first discovery of an Irish early medieval document in two centuries.
"This is really a miracle find," said Pat Wallace, director of the National Museum of Ireland, which has the book stored in refrigeration and facing years of painstaking analysis before being put on public display.
He said an engineer was digging up bogland last week to create commercial potting soil in Ireland's midlands when, "just beyond the bucket of his bulldozer, he spotted something." Wallace would not specify exactly where the book was found because a team of archeologists is still exploring the site.
"The owner of the bog has had dealings with us in past and is very much in favor of archeological discovery and reporting it," Wallace said.
Crucially, he said, the bog owner covered up the book with damp soil. Had it been left exposed overnight, he said, "it could have dried out and just vanished, blown away."
The book was found open to a page describing, in Latin script, Psalm 83 (See above), in which God hears complaints of other nations' attempts to wipe out the name of Israel.
