Psalms 82

1A canticle of a psalm for Asaph.

Canticum Psalmi Asaph.

2O God, who shall be like to thee? hold not thy peace, neither be thou still, O God.

Deus, quis similis erit tibi? ne taceas, neque compescaris, Deus:

3For lo, thy enemies have made a noise: and they that hate thee have lifted up the head.

quoniam ecce inimici tui sonuerunt, et qui oderunt te extulerunt caput.

4They have taken a malicious counsel against thy people, and have consulted against thy saints.

Super populum tuum malignaverunt consilium, et cogitaverunt adversus sanctos tuos.

5They 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.

Dixerunt: Venite, et disperdamus eos de gente, et non memoretur nomen Israël ultra.

6For they have contrived with one consent: they have made a covenant together against thee,

Quoniam cogitaverunt unanimiter; simul adversum te testamentum disposuerunt:

7The tabernacles of the Edomites, and the Ishmahelites: Moab, and the Agarens,

tabernacula Idumæorum et Ismahelitæ, Moab et Agareni,

8Gebal, and Ammon and Amalec: the Philistines, with the inhabitants of Tyre.

Gebal, et Ammon, et Amalec; alienigenæ cum habitantibus Tyrum.

9Yea, and the Assyrian also is joined with them: they are come to the aid of the sons of Lot.

Etenim Assur venit cum illis: facti sunt in adjutorium filiis Lot.

10Do to them as thou didst to Madian and to Sisara: as to Jabin at the brook of Cisson.

Fac illis sicut Madian et Sisaræ, sicut Jabin in torrente Cisson.

11Who perished at Endor: and became as dung for the earth.

Disperierunt in Endor; facti sunt ut stercus terræ.

12Make their princes like Oreb, and Zeb, and Zebee, and Salmana. All their princes,

Pone principes eorum sicut Oreb, et Zeb, et Zebee, et Salmana: omnes principes eorum,

13Who have said: Let us possess the sanctuary of God for an inheritance.

qui dixerunt: Hæreditate possideamus sanctuarium Dei.

14O my God, make them like a wheel; and as stubble before the wind.

Deus meus, pone illos ut rotam, et sicut stipulam ante faciem venti.

15As fire which burneth the wood: and as a flame burning mountains:

Sicut ignis qui comburit silvam, et sicut flamma comburens montes,

16So shalt thou pursue them with thy tempest: and shalt trouble them in thy wrath.

ita persequeris illos in tempestate tua, et in ira tua turbabis eos.

17Fill their faces with shame; and they shall seek thy name, O Lord.

Imple facies eorum ignominia, et quærent nomen tuum, Domine.

18Let them be ashamed and troubled for ever and ever: and let them be confounded and perish.

Erubescant, et conturbentur in sæculum sæculi, et confundantur, et pereant.

19And let them know that the Lord is thy name: thou alone art the most High over all the earth.

Et cognoscant quia nomen tibi Dominus: tu solus Altissimus in omni terra.
