Psalmi 82

VULGATA	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 Canticum Psalmi Asaph.	1 A psalm of Asaph. God rises in the divine council, gives judgment in the midst of the gods.
2 Deus, quis similis erit tibi ? ne taceas, neque compescaris, Deus :	2 "How long will you judge unjustly and favor the cause of the wicked? Selah
3 quoniam ecce inimici tui sonuerunt, et qui oderunt te extulerunt caput.	3 Defend the lowly and fatherless; render justice to the afflicted and needy.
4 Super populum tuum malignaverunt consilium, et cogitaverunt adversus sanctos tuos.	4 Rescue the lowly and poor; deliver them from the hand of the wicked."
5 Dixerunt : Venite, et disperdamus eos de gente, et non memoretur nomen Israël ultra.	5 The gods neither know nor understand, wandering about in darkness, and all the world's foundations shake.
6 Quoniam cogitaverunt unanimiter ; simul adversum te testamentum disposuerunt :	6 I declare: "Gods though you be, offspring of the Most High all of you,
7 tabernacula Idumæorum et Ismahelitæ, Moab et Agareni,	7 Yet like any mortal you shall die; like any prince you shall fall."
8 Gebal, et Ammon, et Amalec ; alienigenæ cum habitantibus Tyrum.	8 Arise, O God, judge the earth, for yours are all the nations.
9 Etenim Assur venit cum illis : facti sunt in adjutorium filiis Lot.
10 Fac illis sicut Madian et Sisaræ, sicut Jabin in torrente Cisson.
11 Disperierunt in Endor ; facti sunt ut stercus terræ.
12 Pone principes eorum sicut Oreb, et Zeb, et Zebee, et Salmana : omnes principes eorum,
13 qui dixerunt : Hæreditate possideamus sanctuarium Dei.
14 Deus meus, pone illos ut rotam, et sicut stipulam ante faciem venti.
15 Sicut ignis qui comburit silvam, et sicut flamma comburens montes,
16 ita persequeris illos in tempestate tua, et in ira tua turbabis eos.
17 Imple facies eorum ignominia, et quærent nomen tuum, Domine.
18 Erubescant, et conturbentur in sæculum sæculi, et confundantur, et pereant.
19 Et cognoscant quia nomen tibi Dominus : tu solus Altissimus in omni terra.
