Psalms (Author Moses, David, Solomon, Asaph, Heman, Ethan, sons of Korah, compiled by Ezra)

Chapter 82

1God standeth in the assembly of *God, he judgeth among the gods.2How long will ye judge unrighteously, and accept the person of the wicked? Selah.3Judge the poor and the fatherless, do justice to the afflicted and the destitute;4Rescue the poor and needy, deliver them out of the hand of the wicked.5They know not, neither do they understand; they walk on in darkness: all the foundations of the earth are moved.6I have said, Ye are gods, and all of you are children of the Most High;7But ye shall die like men, and fall like one of the princes.8Arise, O God, judge the earth; for *thou* shalt inherit all the nations.

Chapter 83

A Song; a Psalm of Asaph.1O God, keep not silence; hold not thy peace, and be not still, O *God:2For behold, thine enemies make a tumult; and they that hate thee lift up the head.3They take crafty counsel against thy people, and consult against thy hidden ones:4They say, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation, and let the name of Israel be mentioned no more.5For they have consulted together with one heart: they have made an alliance together against thee.6The tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites, Moab and the Hagarites;7Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek; Philistia, with the inhabitants of Tyre;8Asshur also is joined with them: they are an arm to the sons of Lot. Selah.9Do unto them as to Midian; as to Sisera, as to Jabin, at the torrent of Kishon:10Who were destroyed at Endor; they became as dung for the ground.11Make their nobles as Oreb and as Zeeb; and all their chiefs as Zebah and as Zalmunna.12For they have said, Let us take to ourselves God's dwelling-places in possession.13O my God, make them like a whirling thing, like stubble before the wind.14As fire burneth a forest, and as the flame setteth the mountains on fire,15So pursue them with thy tempest, and terrify them with thy whirlwind.16Fill their faces with shame, that they may seek thy name, O Jehovah.17Let them be put to shame and be dismayed for ever, and let them be confounded and perish:18That they may know that thou alone, whose name is Jehovah, art the Most High over all the earth.

Chapter 84

To the chief Musician. Upon the Gittith. Of the sons of Korah. A Psalm.1How amiable are thy tabernacles, O Jehovah of hosts!2My soul longeth, yea, even fainteth for the courts of Jehovah; my heart and my flesh cry out for the living *God.3Yea, the sparrow hath found a house, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she layeth her young, thine altars, O Jehovah of hosts, my King and my God.4Blessed are they that dwell in thy house: they will be constantly praising thee. Selah.5Blessed is the man whose strength is in thee, -- they, in whose heart are the highways.6Passing through the valley of Baca, they make it a well-spring; yea, the early rain covereth it with blessings.7They go from strength to strength: each one will appear before God in Zion.8Jehovah, God of hosts, hear my prayer; give ear, O God of Jacob. Selah.9Behold, O God our shield, and look upon the face of thine anointed.10For a day in thy courts is better than a thousand. I had rather stand at the threshold of the house of my God, than dwell in the tents of wickedness.11For Jehovah Elohim is a sun and shield: Jehovah will give grace and glory; no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly.12Jehovah of hosts, blessed is the man that confideth in thee!
