The Book of Psalms

 

Chapter 82

 

 

1.

 

A canticle of a psalm for Asaph.

    
 
 

2.

 

O God, who shall be like to thee? hold not thy peace, neither be thou still, O God.

    
 
 

3.

 

For lo, thy enemies have made a noise: and they that hate thee have lifted up the head.

    
 
 

4.

 

They have taken a malicious counsel against thy people, and have consulted against thy saints.

    
 
 

5.

 

They have said: Come and let us destroy them, so that they be not a nation: and let the name of Israel be remembered no more.

    
 
 

6.

 

For they have contrived with one consent: they have made a covenant together against thee,

    
 
 

7.

 

the tabernacles of the Edomites, and the Ismahelites: Moab, and the Agarens,

    
 
 

8.

 

Gebal, and Ammon and Amalec: the Philistines, with the inhabitants of Tyre.

    
 
 

9.

 

Yea, and the Assyrian also is joined with them: they are come to the aid of the sons of Lot.

    
 
 

10.

 

Do to them as thou didst to Madian and to Sisara: as to Jabin at the brook of Cisson.

    
 
 

11.

 

Who perished at Endor: and became as dung for the earth.

    
 
 

12.

 

Make their princes like Oreb, and Zeb, and Zebee, and Salmana. All their princes,

    
 
 

13.

 

who have said: Let us possess the sanctuary of God for an inheritance.

    
 
 

14.

 

O my God, make them like a wheel; and as stubble before the wind.

    
 
 

15.

 

As fire which burneth the wood: and as a flame burning mountains:

    
 
 

16.

 

So shalt thou pursue them with thy tempest: and shalt trouble them in thy wrath.

    
 
 

17.

 

Fill their faces with shame; and they shall seek thy name, O Lord.

    
 
 

18.

 

Let them be ashamed and troubled for ever and ever: and let them be confounded and perish.

    
 
 

19.

 

And let them know that the Lord is thy name: thou alone art the most High over all the earth.
