82 ⁽⁰⁾ A psalm of Asaf:

⁽¹⁾ Elohim [God] stands in the divine assembly;
there with the elohim [judges], he judges:
² “How long will you go on judging unfairly,
favoring the wicked? (Selah)
³ Give justice to the weak and fatherless!
Uphold the rights of the wretched and poor!
⁴ Rescue the destitute and needy;
deliver them from the power of the wicked!”

⁵ They don’t know, they don’t understand,
they wander about in darkness;
meanwhile, all the foundations of the earth
are being undermined.

⁶ “My decree is: ‘You are elohim [gods, judges],
sons of the Most High all of you.
⁷ Nevertheless, you will die like mortals;
like any prince, you will fall.’”

⁸ Rise up, Elohim, and judge the earth;
for all the nations are yours.

83 ⁽⁰⁾ A song. A psalm of Asaf:

^2 (1) God, don’t remain silent!
Don’t stay quiet, God, or still;
^3 (2) because here are your enemies, causing an uproar;
those who hate you are raising their heads,
^4 (3) craftily conspiring against your people,
consulting together against those you treasure.

^5 (4) They say, “Come, let’s wipe them out as a nation;
let the name of Isra’el be remembered no more!”
^6 (5) With one mind they plot their schemes;
the covenant they have made is against you —
^7 (6) the tents of Edom and the Yishma‘elim,
Mo’av and the Hagrim,
^8 (7) G’val, ‘Amon and ‘Amalek,
P’leshet with those living in Tzor; (Selah)
^9 (8) Ashur too is allied with them,
to reinforce the descendants of Lot.

^10 (9) Do to them as you did to Midyan,
to Sisra and Yavin at Vadi Kishon —
^11 (10) they were destroyed at ‘Ein-Dor
and became manure for the ground.
^12 (11) Make their leaders like ‘Orev and Ze’ev,
all their princes like Zevach and Tzalmuna,
^13 (12) who said, “Let’s take possession
of God’s meadows for ourselves.”

^14 (13) My God, make them like whirling dust,
like chaff driven by the wind.
^15 (14) Like fire burning up the forest,
like a flame that sets the mountains ablaze,
^16 (15) drive them away with your storm,
terrify them with your tempest.
^17 (16) Fill their faces with shame,
so that they will seek your name, Adonai.
^18 (17) Let them be ashamed and fearful forever;
yes, let them perish in disgrace.
^19 (18) Let them know that you alone,
whose name is Adonai,
are the Most High over all the earth.
