Psalms 82

1 Ὠδὴ ψαλμοῦ τῷ Ἀσάφ.

2 Ὁ Θεὸς, τίς ὁμοιωθήσεταί σοι; μὴ σιγήσῃς, μηδὲ καταπραΰνῃς ὁ Θεός.

3 Ὅτι ἰδοὺ οἱ ἐχθροί σου ἤχησαν· καὶ οἱ μισοῦντές σε ᾖραν κεφαλήν.

4 Ἐπὶ τὸν λαόν σου κατεπανουργεύσαντο γνώμην, καὶ ἐβουλεύσαντο κατὰ τῶν ἁγίων σου.

5 Εἶπαν, δεῦτε καὶ ἐξολοθρεύσωμεν αὐτοὺς ἐξ ἔθνους, καὶ οὐ μὴ μνησθῇ τὸ ὄνομα Ἰσραὴλ ἔτι.

6 Ὅτι ἐβουλεύσαντο ἐν ὁμονοίᾳ ἐπιτοαυτὸ, κατὰ σοῦ διαθήκην διέθεντο·

7 Τὰ σκηνώματα τῶν Ἰδουμαίων καὶ οἱ Ἰσμαηλῖται, Μωὰβ καὶ οἱ Ἀγαρηνοὶ,

8 Γεβὰλ καὶ Ἀμμὼν καὶ Ἀμαλὴκ, καὶ ἀλλόφυλοι μετὰ τῶν κατοικούντων Τύρον.

9 Καὶ γὰρ καὶ Ἀσσοὺρ συμπαρεγένετο μετʼ αὐτῶν, ἐγενήθησαν εἰς ἀντίληψιν τοῖς υἱοῖς Λώτ· διάψαλμα.

10 Ποίησον αὐτοῖς ὡς τῇ Μαδιὰμ καὶ τῷ Σεισάρᾳ, ὡς τῷ Ἰαβεὶν ἐν τῷ χειμάῤῥῳ Κεισῶν.

11 Ἐξωλοθρεύθησαν ἐν Ἀενδὼρ, ἐγενήθησαν ὡσεὶ κόπρος τῇ γῇ.

12 Θοῦ τοὺς ἄρχοντας αὐτῶν ὡς τὸν Ὠρὴβ καὶ Ζὴβ καὶ Ζεβεὲ καὶ Σαλμανὰ, πάντας τοὺς ἄρχοντας αὐτῶν·

13 Οἵτινες εἶπαν, κληρονομήσωμεν ἑαυτοῖς τὸ θυσιαστήριον τοῦ Θεοῦ.

14 Ὁ Θεός μου θοῦ αὐτοὺς ὡς τροχὸν, ὡς καλάμην κατὰ πρόσωπον ἀνέμου.

15 Ὡσεὶ πῦρ ὃ διαφλέξει δρυμὸν, ὡσεὶ φλὸξ κατακαύσαι ὄρη·

16 Οὕτως καταδιώξεις αὐτοὺς ἐν τῇ καταιγίδι σου, καὶ ἐν τῇ ὀργῇ σου ταράξεις αὐτούς.

17 Πλήρωσον τὰ πρόσωπα αὐτῶν ἀτιμίας, καὶ ζητήσουσι τὸ ὄνομά σου Κύριε.

18 Αἰσχυνθήτωσαν καὶ ταραχθήτωσαν εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα τοῦ αἰῶνος, καὶ ἐντραπήτωσαν καὶ ἀπολέσθωσαν.

19 Καὶ γνώτωσαν ὅτι ὄνομά σοι Κύριος· σὺ μόνος ὕψιστος ἐπὶ πᾶσαν τὴν γῆν.

1 A Song of a Psalm for Asaph.

2 O God, who shall be compared to thee? be not silent, neither be still, O God.

3 For behold, thine enemies have made a noise; and they that hate thee have lifted up the head.

4 Against thy people they have craftily imagined a device, and have taken counsel against thy saints.

5 They 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.

6 For they have taken counsel together with one consent: they have made a confederacy against thee;

7 even the tents of the Idumeans, and the Ismaelites; Moab, and the Agarenes;

8 Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalec; the Philistines also, with them that dwell at Tyre.

9 Yea, Assur too is come with them: they have become a help to the children of Lot. Pause.

10 Do thou to them as to Madiam, and to Sisera; as to Jabin at the brook of Kison.

11 They were utterly destroyed at Aendor: they became as dung for the earth.

12 Make their princes as Oreb and Zeb, and Zebee and Salmana; even all their princes:

13 who said, Let us take to ourselves the altar of God as an inheritance.

sanctuary.

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

15 As fire which shall burn up a wood, as the flame may consume the mountains;

16 so shalt thou persecute them with thy tempest, and trouble them in thine anger.

17 Fill their faces with dishonour; so shall they seek thy name, O Lord.

18 Let them be ashamed and troubled for evermore; yea, let them be confounded and destroyed.

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