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.
1A Psalm by Asaph. God presides in the great assembly. He judges among the gods.
2For behold, your enemies have made a noise; and they that hate you have lifted up the head.
2“How long will you judge unjustly, and show partiality to the wicked?” Selah.
3Against your people they have craftily imagined a device, and have taken counsel against your saints.
3“Defend the weak, the poor, and the fatherless. Maintain the rights of the poor and oppressed.
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.
4Rescue the weak and needy. Deliver 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 don’t know, neither do they understand. They walk back and forth in darkness. All the foundations of the earth are shaken.
6even the tents of the Idumeans, and the Ismaelites; Moab, and the Agarenes;
6I said, “You are gods, all of you are sons of the Most High.
7Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalec; the Philistines also, with them that dwell at Tyre.
7Nevertheless you shall die like men, and fall like one of the rulers.
8Yes, Assur too is come with them: they have become a help to the children of Lot. Pause.
8Arise, God, judge the earth, for you inherit all of the nations.
