Psalms 82

1 A Psalm by Asaph. God presides in the great assembly. He judges among the gods.

psalmus Asaph Deus stetit in synagoga deorum in medio autem Deus deiudicat

2 “How long will you judge unjustly, and show partiality to the wicked?” (Selah)

usquequo iudicatis iniquitatem et facies peccatorum sumitis diapsalma

3 “Defend the weak, the poor, and the fatherless. Maintain the rights of the poor and oppressed.

iudicate egenum et pupillum humilem et pauperem iustificate

4 Rescue the weak and needy. Deliver them out of the hand of the wicked.”

eripite pauperem et egenum de manu peccatoris liberate

5 They do not know, neither do they understand. They walk back and forth in darkness. All the foundations of the earth are shaken.

nescierunt neque intellexerunt in tenebris ambulant movebuntur omnia fundamenta terrae

6 I said, “You are gods, all of you are sons of the Most High.

ego dixi dii estis et filii Excelsi omnes

7 Nevertheless you shall die like men, and fall like one of the rulers.”

vos autem sicut homines moriemini et sicut unus de principibus cadetis

8 Arise, God, judge the earth, for you inherit all of the nations.

surge Deus iudica terram quoniam tu hereditabis in omnibus gentibus
