Deus, quis símilis erit tibi? * Ne táceas, neque compescáris, Deus:Quóniam ecce inimíci tui sonuérunt: * et qui odérunt te, extulérunt caput.
Super pópulum tuum malignavérunt consílium: * et cogitavérunt advérsus sanctos tuos.
Dixérunt: Veníte, et disperdámus eos de gente: * et non memorétur nomen Israël ultra.
Quóniam cogitavérunt unanímiter: * simul advérsum te testaméntum disposuérunt, tabernácula Idumæórum et Ismahelítæ:
Moab, et Agaréni, Gebal, et Ammon, et Ámalec: * alienígenæ cum habitántibus Tyrum.
Étenim Assur venit cum illis: * facti sunt in adjutórium fíliis Lot.
Fac illis sicut Mádian, et Sísaræ: * sicut Jabin in torrénte Cisson.
Disperiérunt in Endor: * facti sunt ut stercus terræ.
Pone príncipes eórum sicut Oreb, et Zeb, * et Zébee, et Sálmana:
Omnes príncipes eórum: * qui dixérunt: Hereditáte possideámus Sanctuárium Dei.
Deus meus, pone illos ut rotam: * et sicut stípulam ante fáciem venti.
Sicut ignis, qui combúrit silvam: * et sicut flamma combúrens montes:
Ita persequéris illos in tempestáte tua: * et in ira tua turbábis eos.
Imple fácies eórum ignomínia: * et quærent nomen tuum, Dómine.
Erubéscant, et conturbéntur in sæculum sæculi: * et confundántur, et péreant.
Et cognóscant quia nomen tibi Dóminus: * tu solus Altíssimus in omni terra.
-- Psalmus 82 [9], Feria sexta ad Matutinum, Breviarium Romanum

Federico Lombardi makes a point during a press conference announcing the content of a letter by Pope Benedict XVI to the world's Catholic bishops, at the Vatican, Thursday, March 12, 2009. Benedict XVI has acknowledged Vatican mistakes over a Holocaust-denying bishop and his efforts to reach out to ultraconservatives, saying in a highly unusual critical review that he was saddened that even Catholics attacked him with open hostility. The pope made a personal analysis of the case in a letter to the world's Catholic bishops made public by the Vatican on Thursday, seeking to end one of the most serious crises of his nearly four-year papacy.
