would last forever.
081:016 But he would have also fed them with the finest of the wheat.
I will satisfy you with honey out of the rock."
082:001 <<A Psalm by Asaph.>> God presides in the great assembly.
He judges among the gods.
082:002 "How long will you judge unjustly, and show partiality
to the wicked?" Selah.
082:003 "Defend the weak, the poor, and the fatherless.
Maintain the rights of the poor and oppressed.
082:004 Rescue the weak and needy. Deliver them out of the hand
of the wicked."
082:005 They don't know, neither do they understand.
They walk back and forth in darkness. All the foundations
of the earth are shaken.
082:006 I said, "You are gods, all of you are sons of the Most High.
082:007 Nevertheless you shall die like men, and fall like one
of the rulers."
082:008 Arise, God, judge the earth, for you inherit all of the nations.
083:001 <<A song. A Psalm by Asaph.>> God, don't keep silent.
Don't keep silent, and don't be still, God.
083:002 For, behold, your enemies are stirred up. Those who hate you
have lifted up their heads.
083:003 They conspire with cunning against your people.
They plot against your cherished ones.
083:004 "Come," they say, "and let's destroy them as a nation,
that the name of Israel may be remembered no more."
083:005 For they have conspired together with one mind.
They form an alliance against you.
083:006 The tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites; Moab, and the Hagrites;
083:007 Gebal, Ammon, and Amalek; Philistia with the inhabitants of Tyre;
083:008 Assyria also is joined with them. They have helped the children
of Lot. Selah.
083:009 Do to them as you did to Midian, as to Sisera, as to Jabin,
at the river Kishon;
083:010 who perished at Endor, who became as dung for the earth.
083:011 Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb; yes, all their princes
like Zebah and Zalmunna;
083:012 who said, "Let us take possession of God's pasturelands."
083:013 My God, make them like tumbleweed; like chaff before the wind.
083:014 As the fire that burns the forest, as the flame that sets
the mountains on fire,
083:015 so pursue them with your tempest, and terrify them with your storm.
083:016 Fill their faces with confusion, that they may seek
your name, Yahweh.
083:017 Let them be disappointed and dismayed forever. Yes, let them
be confounded and perish;
083:018 that they may know that you alone, whose name is Yahweh,
are the Most High over all the earth.
084:001 <<For the Chief Musician. On an instrument of Gath.
A Psalm by the sons of Korah.>> How lovely are your dwellings,
Yahweh of Armies!
084:002 My soul longs, and even faints for the courts of Yahweh.
My heart and my flesh cry out for the living God.
