1(83) A Song of a Psalm for Asaph. O God, who shall be compared to you? be not silent, neither be still, O God.
1God standeth in the congregation of the mighty; he judgeth among the gods.
2For behold, your enemies have made a noise; and they that hate you have lifted up the head.
2How long will ye judge unjustly, and accept the persons of the wicked? Selah.
3Against your people they have craftily imagined a device, and have taken counsel against your saints.
3Defend the poor and fatherless: do justice to the afflicted and needy.
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.
4Deliver the poor and needy: rid them out of the hand of the wicked.
5For they have taken counsel together with one consent: they have made a confederacy against you;
5They know not, neither will they understand; they walk on in darkness: all the foundations of the earth are out of course.
6even the tents of the Idumeans, and the Ismaelites; Moab, and the Agarenes;
6I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High.
7Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalec; the Philistines also, with them that dwell at Tyre.
7But ye shall die like men, and fall like one of the princes.
8Yes, Assur too is come with them: they have become a help to the children of Lot. Pause.
8Arise, O God, judge the earth: for thou shalt inherit all nations.
