Psalm 82

1 ᾨδὴ ψαλμοῦ τῷ Ἀσάφ.

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.

2 Ο ΘΕΟΣ, τίς ὁμοιωθήσεταί σοι; μὴ σιγήσῃς μηδὲ καταπραυ±νῃς, ὁ Θεός·

2 In the English, this verse is part of verse 1.

3 ὅτι ἰδοὺ οἱ ἐχθροί σου ἤχησαν, καὶ οἱ μισοῦντές σε ᾖραν κεφαλήν,

3 For behold, your enemies have made a noise; and they that hate you have lifted up the head. (verse 2 in Brenton's English)

4 ἐπὶ τὸν λαόν σου κατεπανουργεύσαντο γνώμην καὶ ἐβουλεύσαντο κατὰ τῶν ἁγίων σου·

4 Against your people they have craftily imagined a device, and have taken counsel against your saints. (verse 3 in Brenton's English)

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

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. (verse 4 in Brenton's English)

6 ὅτι ἐβουλεύσαντο ἐν ὁμονοίᾳ ἐπὶ τὸ αὐτό, κατὰ σοῦ διαθήκην διέθεντο

6 For they have taken counsel together with one consent: they have made a confederacy against you; (verse 5 in Brenton's English)

7 τὰ σκηνώματα τῶν Ἰδουμαίων καὶ οἱ Ἰσμαηλῖται, Μωὰβ καὶ οἱ Ἀγαρηνοί,

7 even the tents of the Idumeans, and the Ismaelites; Moab, and the Agarenes; (verse 6 in Brenton's English)

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

8 Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalec; the Philistines also, with them that dwell at Tyre. (verse 7 in Brenton's English)

9 καὶ γὰρ καὶ Ἀσσοὺρ συμπαρεγένετο μετ᾿ αὐτῶν, ἐγενήθησαν εἰς ἀντίληψιν τοῖς υἱοῖς Λώτ. (διάψαλμα).

9 Yes, Assur too is come with them: they have become a help to the children of Lot. Pause. (verse 8 in Brenton's English)

10 ποίησον αὐτοῖς ὡς τῇ Μαδιὰμ καὶ τῷ Σισάρᾳ, ὡς τῷ Ἰαβεὶμ ἐν τῷ χειμάρρῳ Κεισών·

10 Do you to them as to Madiam, and to Sisera; as to Jabin at the brook of Kison. (verse 9 in Brenton's English)

11 ἐξωλοθρεύθησαν ἐν Ἀενδώρ, ἐγενήθησαν ὡσεὶ κόπρος τῇ γῇ.

11 They were utterly destroyed at Aendor: they became as dung for the earth. (verse 10 in Brenton's English)

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

12 Make their princes as Oreb and Zeb, and Zebee and Salmana; [even] all their princes: (verse 11 in Brenton's English)

13 οἵτινες εἶπαν· Κληρονομήσωμεν ἑαυτοῖς τὸ ἁγιαστήριον τοῦ Θεοῦ.

13 who said, let us take to ourselves the altar of God as an inheritance. (verse 12 in Brenton's English)

14 ὁ Θεός μου, θοῦ αὐτοὺς ὡς τροχόν, ὡς καλάμην κατὰ πρόσωπον ἀνέμου·

14 O my God, make them as a wheel; as stubble before the face of the wind. (verse 13 in Brenton's English)

15 ὡσεὶ πῦρ, ὃ διαφλέξει δρυμόν, ὡσεὶ φλόξ, ἣ κατακαύσει ὄρη,

15 As fire which shall burn up a wood, as the flame may consume the mountains; (verse 14 in Brenton's English)

16 οὕτως καταδιώξεις αὐτοὺς ἐν τῇ καταιγίδι σου, καὶ ἐν τῇ ὀργῇ σου συνταράξεις αὐτούς.

16 so shall you persecute them with your tempest, and trouble them in your anger. (verse 15 in Brenton's English)

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

17 Fill their faces with dishonour; so shall they seek your name, O Lord. (verse 16 in Brenton's English)

18 αἰσχυνθήτωσαν καὶ ταραχθήτωσαν εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα τοῦ αἰῶνος καὶ ἐντραπήτωσαν καὶ ἀπολέσθωσαν

18 Let them be ashamed and troubled for evermore; yes, let them be confounded and destroyed. (verse 17 in Brenton's English)

19 καὶ γνώτωσαν ὅτι ὄνομά σοι Κύριος· σὺ μόνος ¨Υψιστος ἐπὶ πᾶσαν τὴν γῆν.

19 And let them know that your name is Lord; that you alone are Most High over all the earth. (verse 18 in Brenton's English)
