Psalms 82

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 A Psalm of Asaph. God has taken his place in the divine council; in the midst of the gods he holds judgment:	1 A Canticle Psalm of Asaph.
2 "How long will you judge unjustly and show partiality to the wicked? [Selah]	2 O God, who will ever be like you? Do not be silent, and do not be unmoved, O God.
3 Give justice to the weak and the fatherless; maintain the right of the afflicted and the destitute.	3 For behold, your enemies have sounded off, and those who hate you have carried out a head.
4 Rescue the weak and the needy; deliver them from the hand of the wicked."	4 They have acted with malice in counsel over your people, and they have plotted against your holy ones.
5 They have neither knowledge nor understanding, they walk about in darkness; all the foundations of the earth are shaken.	5 They have said, “Come, let us scatter them from the nations and not allow the name of Israel to be remembered any longer.”
6 I say, "You are gods, sons of the Most High, all of you;	6 For they plotted unanimously. Joined together against you, they ordained a covenant:
7 nevertheless, you shall die like men, and fall like any prince."	7 the tabernacle of Edomites and Ishmaelites, and Moab and the Hagarites,
8 Arise, O God, judge the earth; for to thee belong all the nations!	8 and Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek, the foreigners among the inhabitants of Tyre.
	9 For even Assur comes with them. They have become the helpers of the sons of Lot.
	10 Do to them as you did to Midian and Sisera, just as to Jabin at the torrent of Kishon.
	11 They perished at Endor, and they became like the dung of the earth.
	12 Set their leaders to be like Oreb and Zeeb, and Zebah and Zalmunna: all their leaders
	13 who said, “Let us possess the Sanctuary of God for an inheritance.”
	14 My God, set them like a wheel, and like stubble before the face of the wind.
	15 Set them like a fire burning up the forest, and like a flame burning up the mountains.
	16 So will you pursue them in your tempest, and disturb them in your wrath.
	17 Fill their faces with shame, and they will seek your name, O Lord.
	18 Let them be ashamed and troubled, from age to age, and let them be confounded and perish.
	19 And let them know that the Lord is your name. You alone are the Most High in all the earth.
