1  O God, keep not Thou silence; hold not Thy peace, and be not still, O God.

title  A Song of a Psalm for Asaph.

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

title  A Canticle Psalm of Asaph.

1  O God, who will ever be like you? Do not be silent, and do not be unmoved, O God.

2  For, lo, Thine enemies are in an uproar; and they that hate Thee have lifted up the head.

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

Ps82:2  For behold, your enemies have sounded off, and those who hate you have carried out a head.

3  They hold crafty converse against Thy people, and take counsel against Thy treasured ones.

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

Ps82:3  They have acted with malice in counsel over your people, and they have plotted against your holy ones.

4  They have said: 'Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation; that the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance.'

Ps82:4  They have said, “Come, let us scatter them from the nations and not allow the name of Israel to be remembered any longer.”

5  For they have consulted together with one consent; against Thee do they make a covenant;

Ps82:5  For they plotted unanimously. Joined together against you, they ordained a covenant

5  For they have agreed with one heart; they have made alliance against thee

6  The tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites; Moab, and the Hagrites;

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

Ps82:6  the tabernacle of Edomites and Ishmaelites, and Moab and the Hagarites,

7  Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek; Philistia with the inhabitants of Tyre;

Ps82:7  and Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek, the foreigners among the inhabitants of Tyre.

7  The people of the region of Ammon and Amalek; the Philistines with the inhabitants of Tyre;

8  Assyria also is joined with them; they have been an arm to the children of Lot. Selah

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

Ps82:8  For even Assur comes with them. They have become the helpers of the sons of Lot.

9  Do Thou unto them as unto Midian; as to Sisera, as to Jabin, at the brook Kishon;

Ps82:9  Do to them as you did to Midian and Sisera, just as to Jabin at the torrent of Kishon.

9  Do to them as to the Midianites; as to Sisera, as to Jabin, at the valley of Kishon;

10  Who were destroyed at En-dor; they became as dung for the earth.

Ps82:10  They perished at Endor, and they became like the dung of the earth.

10  Which perished at Endor; they became as manure for the earth.

11  Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb, and like Zebah and Zalmunna all their princes;

Ps82:11  Set their leaders to be like Oreb and Zeeb, and Zebah and Zalmunna: all their leaders

11  Destroy their nobles like Oreb and like Zeeb; yea, all their princes as Zebah and as Zalmunna;

12  Who said: 'Let us take to ourselves in possession the habitations of God.'

Ps82:12  who said, “Let us possess the Sanctuary of God for an inheritance.”

12  For they said, Let us inherit for ourselves the city of God.

13  O my God, make them like the whirling dust; as stubble before the wind.

Ps82:13  My God, set them like a wheel, and like stubble before the face of the wind.

13  O God, make them like a turning wheel; and like stubble before the wind.

14  As the fire that burneth the forest, and as the flame that setteth the mountains ablaze;

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

Ps82:14  Set them like a fire burning up the forest, and like a flame burning up the mountains.

15  So pursue them with Thy tempest, and affright them with Thy storm.

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

Ps82:15  So will you pursue them in your tempest, and disturb them in your wrath.

16  Fill their faces with shame; that they may seek Thy name, O YHWH.

17  Let them be ashamed and affrighted for ever; yea, let them be abashed and perish;

17  Let them be confounded and troubled for ever; yea, let them be put to shame, and perish,

18  That they may know that it is Thou alone whose name is YHWH, the Most High over all the earth.

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