Salme 82

1 (En Salme af Asaf.) Gud står frem i Guders Forsamling midt iblandt Guder holder han Dom

A Psalm of Asaph. God has stood in the synagogue of gods, but, in their midst, he decides between gods.

2 "Hvor længe vil I dømme uredeligt og holde med de gudløse? (Sela)

How long will you judge unjustly and favor the faces of sinners?

3 Skaf de ringe og faderløse Ret, kend de arme og nødstedte fri;

Judge for the indigent and the orphan. Do justice to the humble and the poor.

4 red de ringe og fattige, fri dem ud af de gudløses Hånd!

Rescue the poor, and free the needy from the hand of the sinner.

5 Dog, de kender intet, sanser intet, i Mørke vandrer de om, alle Jordens Grundvolde vakler.

They did not know and did not understand. They wander in darkness. All the foundations of the earth will be moved.

6 Jeg har sagt, at I er Guder, I er alle den Højestes Sønner;

I said: You are gods, and all of you are sons of the Most High.

7 dog skal I dø som Mennesker, styrte som en af Fyrsterne!"

But you will die like men, and you will fall just like one of the princes.

8 Rejs dig, o Gud, døm Jorden, thi alle Folkene får du til Arv!

Rise up, O God. Judge the earth. For you will inherit it with all the nations.
