Psalms 82:1–8

A canticle of a psalm for Asaph. 2O God, who shall be like to thee? hold not thy peace, neither be thou still, O God. 3For lo, thy enemies have made a noise: and they that hate thee have lifted up the head. 4They have taken a malicious counsel against thy people, and have consulted against thy saints. 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. 6For they have contrived with one consent: they have made a covenant together against thee, 7The tabernacle of the Edomites, and the Ishmahelites: Moab, and the Agarens, 8Gebal, and Ammon and Amalec: the Philistines, with the inhabitants of Tyre.
