1 A Psalm. Of Asaph. God is in the meeting-place of God; he is judging among the gods.2 How long will you go on judging falsely, having respect for the persons of evil-doers? (Selah.)3 Give ear to the cause of the poor and the children without fathers; let those who are troubled and in need have their rights.4 Be the saviour of the poor and those who have nothing: take them out of the hand of the evil-doers.5 They have no knowledge or sense; they go about in the dark: all the bases of the earth are moved.6 I said, You are gods; all of you are the sons of the Most High:7 But you will come to death like men, falling like one of the rulers of the earth.8 Up! O God, come as judge of the earth; for all the nations are your heritage.

1 Canticum Psalmi Asaph. 2 [Deus, quis similis erit tibi ?ne taceas, neque compescaris, Deus :3 quoniam ecce inimici tui sonuerunt,et qui oderunt te extulerunt caput.4 Super populum tuum malignaverunt consilium,et cogitaverunt adversus sanctos tuos.5 Dixerunt : Venite, et disperdamus eos de gente,et non memoretur nomen Isral ultra.6 Quoniam cogitaverunt unanimiter ;simul adversum te testamentum disposuerunt :7 tabernacula Idumorum et Ismahelit,Moab et Agareni,8 Gebal, et Ammon, et Amalec ;alienigen cum habitantibus Tyrum.9 Etenim Assur venit cum illis :facti sunt in adjutorium filiis Lot.10 Fac illis sicut Madian et Sisar,sicut Jabin in torrente Cisson.11 Disperierunt in Endor ;facti sunt ut stercus terr.12 Pone principes eorum sicut Oreb,et Zeb, et Zebee, et Salmana :omnes principes eorum,13 qui dixerunt : Hreditate possideamus sanctuarium Dei.14 Deus meus, pone illos ut rotam,et sicut stipulam ante faciem venti.15 Sicut ignis qui comburit silvam,et sicut flamma comburens montes,16 ita persequeris illos in tempestate tua,et in ira tua turbabis eos.17 Imple facies eorum ignominia,et qurent nomen tuum, Domine.18 Erubescant, et conturbentur in sculum sculi,et confundantur, et pereant.19 Et cognoscant quia nomen tibi Dominus :tu solus Altissimus in omni terra.]
