Psalms 82
1O God, who shall be compared to you? be not silent, neither be still, O God. 1
2For behold, your enemies have made a noise; and they that hate you have lifted up the head. 1
3Against your people they have craftily imagined a device, and have taken counsel against your saints. 1
4They have said, Come, and let us utterly destroy them out of the nation; and let the name of Israel be remembered no more at all. 1
5For they have taken counsel together with one consent: they have made a confederacy against you; 1
6even the tents of the Idumeans, and the Ismaelites; Moab, and the Agarenes; 1
7Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalec; the Philistines also, with them that dwell at Tyre. 1
8Yes, Assur too is come with them: they have become a help to the children of Lot. Pause. 1
9Do you to them as to Madiam, and to Sisera; as to Jabin at the brook of Kison. 1
10They were utterly destroyed at Aendor: they became as dung for the earth. 1
11Make their princes as Oreb and Zeb, and Zebee and Salmana; even all their princes: 1
12who said, let us take to ourselves the + 82:12 Alex. sanctuary. altar of God as an inheritance. 1
13O my God, make them as a wheel; as stubble before the face of the wind. 1
14As fire which shall burn up a wood, as the flame may consume the mountains; 1
15so shall you persecute them with your tempest, and trouble them in your anger. 1
16Fill their faces with dishonor; so shall they seek your name, O Lord. 1
17Let them be ashamed and troubled for evermore; yes, let them be confounded and destroyed. 1
18And let them know that your name is Lord; that you alone are Most High over all the earth.
