DOUAI-RHEIMSCATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 A psalm for Asaph. God hath stood in the congregation of gods: and being in the midst of them he judgeth gods.1 A Canticle Psalm of Asaph.
2 How long will you judge unjustly: and accept the persons of the wicked?2 O God, who will ever be like you? Do not be silent, and do not be unmoved, O God.
3 Judge for the needy and fatherless: do justice to the humble and the poor.3 For behold, your enemies have sounded off, and those who hate you have carried out a head.
4 Rescue the poor; and deliver the needy out of the hand of the sinner.4 They have acted with malice in counsel over your people, and they have plotted against your holy ones.
5 They have not known nor understood: they walk on in darkness: all the foundations of the earth shall be moved.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 have said: You are gods and all of you the sons of the most High.6 For they plotted unanimously. Joined together against you, they ordained a covenant:
7 But you like men shall die: and shall fall like one of the princes.7 the tabernacle of Edomites and Ishmaelites, and Moab and the Hagarites,
8 Arise, O God, judge thou the earth: for thou shalt inherit among 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.
