Psalmi 82

1 Asafa dziesma. Dievs stāv Savā draudzē, Viņš tura tiesu starp tiem dieviem.

A psalm of Asaph. God has taken his stand in the divine assembly: in the midst of the gods he holds judgment.

2 Cik ilgi jūs gribat netaisni tiesāt un uzlūkot bezdievīgo ļaužu vaigu? (Sela)

‘How long will you crookedly judge, and favour the wicked? (Selah)

3 Izdodiet tiesu nabagam un bāriņam, taisnojiet bēdīgo un nabagu.

Do right by the weak and the orphan, acquit the innocent poor.

4 Izglābiet nabagu un bēdīgo, izraujiet viņu no bezdievīgo rokas.

Rescue the weak and the needy, save them from the hand of the wicked.

5 Bet tie to neatzīst un nesaprot, tie staigā tumsībā; par to zemes pamatiem jāšaubās.

‘They have neither knowledge nor insight, in darkness they walk to and fro, while the earth’s foundations totter.

6 Gan Es esmu sacījis: jūs esat dievi, un visi tā Visuaugstākā bērni.

It was I who appointed you gods, children of the Most High all of you.

7 Bet jūs nomirsiet kā cilvēki un iesiet bojā tāpat kā citi lieli kungi.

Yet like mortals you will surely die, you will fall like any prince.’

8 Celies, ak Dievs, tiesā pasauli, jo Tev būs par mantību visas tautas.

Arise, O God, judge the earth, for all nations are yours by inheritance.
