Psalms 82

1 — A Psalm of Asaph. God hath stood in the company of God, In the midst God doth judge.

詠【警告為民長者】阿撒夫的詩歌。 天主親臨眾神的會議，在眾神之中主張公理：

2 Till when do ye judge perversely? And the face of the wicked lift up? (Selah)

你們不正義審理，偏袒惡人要到何時？ （休止）

3 Judge ye the weak and fatherless, The afflicted and the poor declare righteous.

你們應保護受苦的人和孤兒，為貧窮與可憐的人主持正義。

4 Let the weak and needy escape, From the hand of the wicked deliver them.

應拯救弱小及窮苦的人，由惡人的爪牙拯救他們。

5 They knew not, nor do they understand, In darkness they walk habitually, Moved are all the foundations of earth.

他們原本無知無識，在暗中摸索，卻把大地的一切根基動搖。

6 I — I have said, 'Gods ye [are], And sons of the Most High — all of you,

我親自說過：你們都是神，眾人都是至高者的子民。

7 But as man ye die, and as one of the heads ye fall,

但是你們必要死亡像眾人一樣，必要消失像任何一位王侯一樣。

8 Rise, O God, judge the earth, For Thou hast inheritance among all the nations!

天主，求您起來審判下土，因為萬國都應由您佔據。
