| 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. |
