Psalms 82

1 A Psalm of Asaph. God standeth in the assembly of God, he judgeth among the gods.

Psalmus Asaph. Deus stetit in synagoga deorum: in medio autem deos diiudicat.

2 How long will ye judge unrighteously, and accept the person of the wicked? (Selah)

Usquequo iudicatis iniquitatem: et facies peccatorum sumitis?

3 Judge the poor and the fatherless, do justice to the afflicted and the destitute;

Iudicate egeno, et pupillo: humilem, et pauperem iustificate.

4 Rescue the poor and needy, deliver them out of the hand of the wicked.

Eripite pauperem: et egenum de manu peccatoris liberate.

5 They know not, neither do they understand; they walk on in darkness: all the foundations of the earth are moved.

Nescierunt, neque intellexerunt, in tenebris ambulant: movebuntur omnia fundamenta terræ.

6 I have said, Ye are gods, and all of you are children of the Most High;

Ego dixi: Dii estis, et filii excelsi omnes.

7 But ye shall die like men, and fall like one of the princes.

Vos autem sicut homines moriemini: et sicut unus de principibus cadetis.

8 Arise, O God, judge the earth; for thou shalt inherit all the nations.

Surge Deus, iudica terram: quoniam tu hereditabis in omnibus Gentibus.
