Psalms 82

PSALM 82.
1A canticle of a psalm for Asaph.
2O God, who shall be like to thee? hold not thy peace, neither be thou still, O God.
3For lo, thy enemies have made a noise: and they that hate thee have lifted up the head.
4They have taken a malicious counsel against thy people, and have consulted against thy saints.
5They 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.
6For they have contrived with one consent: they have made a covenant together against thee,
7the tabernacles of the Edomites, and the Ismahelites: Moab, and the Agarens,
8Gebal, and Ammon and Amalec: the Philistines, with the inhabitants of Tyre.
9Yea, and the Assyrian also is joined with them: they are come to the aid of the sons of Lot.
10Do to them as thou didst to Madian and to Sisara: as to Jabin at the brook of Cisson.
11Who perished at Endor: and became as dung for the earth.
12Make their princes like Oreb, and Zeb, and Zebee, and Salmana. All their princes,
13who have said: Let us possess the sanctuary of God for an inheritance.
14O my God, make them like a wheel; and as stubble before the wind.
15As fire which burneth the wood: and as a flame burning mountains:
16So shalt thou pursue them with thy tempest: and shalt trouble them in thy wrath.
17Fill their faces with shame; and they shall seek thy name, O Lord.
18Let them be ashamed and troubled for ever and ever: and let them be confounded and perish.
19And let them know that the Lord is thy name: thou alone art the most High over all the earth.

Psalm 82
A psalm by Asaph.
1God takes his place in his own assembly.
He pronounces judgment among the gods:
2“How long are you going to judge unfairly?
How long are you going to side with wicked people?” Selah
3Defend weak people and orphans.
Protect the rights of the oppressed and the poor.
4Rescue weak and needy people.
Help them escape the power of wicked people.
5Wicked people do not know or understand anything.
As they walk around in the dark,
all the foundations of the earth shake.
6I said, “You are gods.
You are all sons of the Most High.
7You will certainly die like humans
and fall like any prince.”
8Arise, O God!
Judge the earth, because all the nations belong to you.
