Psalms 82
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
1A Psalm of Asaph. God standeth in the congregation of God; in the midst of the judges He judgeth:
1A canticle of a psalm for Asaph.
2'How long will ye judge unjustly, and respect the persons of the wicked? Selah
2O God, who shall be like to thee? hold not thy peace, neither be thou still, O God.
3Judge the poor and fatherless; do justice to the afflicted and destitute.
3For lo, thy enemies have made a noise: and they that hate thee have lifted up the head.
4Rescue the poor and needy; deliver them out of the hand of the wicked.
4They have taken a malicious counsel against thy people, and have consulted against thy saints.
5They know not, neither do they understand; they go about in darkness; all the foundations of the earth are moved.
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.
6I said: Ye are godlike beings, and all of you sons of the Most High.
6For they have contrived with one consent: they have made a covenant together against thee,
7Nevertheless ye shall die like men, and fall like one of the princes.'
7The tabernacles of the Edomites, and the Ismahelites: Moab, and the Agarens,
8Arise, O God, judge the earth; for Thou shalt possess all nations.
8Gebal, and Ammon and Amalec: the Philistines, with the inhabitants of Tyre.
