Tehillim, starting at chapter 82
Psalm 82
A Psalm by Asaf.
{82:1} God presides in the great assembly.
He judges among the gods.
{82:2} "How long will you judge unjustly,
And show partiality to the wicked?"
Selah.
{82:3} "Defend the weak, the poor, and the fatherless.
Maintain the rights of the poor and oppressed.
{82:4} Rescue the weak and needy.
Deliver them out of the hand of the wicked."
{82:5} They don't know, neither do they understand.
They walk back and forth in darkness.
All the foundations of the [1>]eretz[<1] are shaken.
{82:6} I said, "You are gods,
All of you are sons of [2>]Ha`Elyon[<2].
{82:7} Nevertheless you shall die like men,
And fall like one of the rulers."
{82:8} Arise, God, judge the [3>]eretz[<3],
For you inherit all of the nations.
Psalm 83
A song. A Psalm by Asaf.
{83:1} God, don't keep silent.
Don't keep silent,
And don't be still, God.
{83:2} For, behold, your enemies are stirred up.
Those who hate you have lifted up their heads.
{83:3} They conspire with cunning against your people.
They plot against your cherished ones.
{83:4} "Come," they say, "and let's destroy them as a nation,
That the name of Yisra'el may be remembered no more."
{83:5} For they have conspired together with one mind.
They form an alliance against you.
{83:6} The tents of Edom and the Yishme`elim;
Mo'av, and the Hagrim;
{83:7} Geval, `Ammon, and `Amalek;
Peleshet with the inhabitants of Tzor;
{83:8} Ashshur also is joined with them.
They have helped the children of Lot.
Selah.
{83:9} Do to them as you did to Midyan,
As to Sisera, as to Yavin, at the river Kishon;
{83:10} Who perished at `En-Dor,
Who became as dung for the [1>]eretz[<1].
{83:11} Make their nobles like `Orev and Ze'ev;
Yes, all their princes like Zevach and Tzalmunnah;
{83:12} Who said, "Let us take possession
Of God's pasturelands."
{83:13} My God, make them like tumbleweed;
Like chaff before the wind.
{83:14} As the fire that burns the forest,
As the flame that sets the mountains on fire,
{83:15} So pursue them with your tempest,
And terrify them with your storm.
{83:16} Fill their faces with confusion,
That they may seek your name, LORD.
{83:17} Let them be disappointed and dismayed forever.
Yes, let them be confounded and perish;
{83:18} That they may know that you alone, whose name is the LORD,
Are [2>]Ha`Elyon[<2] over all the [3>]eretz[<3].
Psalm 84
For the Chief Musician. On the gittit. A Psalm by the sons of Korach.
{84:1} How lovely are your dwellings,
LORD of Hosts!
{84:2} My soul longs, and even faints for the courts of the LORD.
My heart and my flesh cry out for the living God.
{84:3} Yes, the sparrow has found a home,
And the swallow a nest for herself, where she may have her young,
Near your altars, LORD of Hosts, my King, and my God.
{84:4} Blessed are those who dwell in your house.
They are always praising you.
Selah.
{84:5} Blessed are those whose strength is in you;
Who have set their hearts on a pilgrimage.
{84:6} Passing through the valley of Weeping, they make it a place of
springs.
Yes, the autumn rain covers it with blessings.
{84:7} They go from strength to strength.
Everyone of them appears before God in Tziyon.
{84:8} LORD, God Tzva'ot, hear my prayer.
Listen, God of Ya`akov.
Selah.
{84:9} Behold, God our shield,
Look at the face of your anointed.
{84:10} For a day in your courts is better than a thousand.
I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God,
Than to dwell in the tents of wickedness.
{84:11} For the LORD God is a sun and a shield.
The LORD will give grace and glory.
He withholds no good thing from those who walk blamelessly.
{84:12} LORD of Hosts,
Blessed is the man who trusts in you.
