Psalmorum 82

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

A Psalm. Of Asaph. God is in the meeting-place of God; he is judging among the gods.

2 usquequo iudicatis iniquitatem et facies peccatorum sumitis diapsalma

How long will you go on judging falsely, having respect for the persons of evil-doers? (Selah)

3 iudicate egenum et pupillum humilem et pauperem iustificate

Give ear to the cause of the poor and the children without fathers; let those who are troubled and in need have their rights.

4 eripite pauperem et egenum de manu peccatoris liberate

Be the saviour of the poor and those who have nothing: take them out of the hand of the evil-doers.

5 nescierunt neque intellexerunt in tenebris ambulant movebuntur omnia fundamenta terrae

They have no knowledge or sense; they go about in the dark: all the bases of the earth are moved.

6 ego dixi dii estis et filii Excelsi omnes

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

7 vos autem sicut homines moriemini et sicut unus de principibus cadetis

But you will come to death like men, falling like one of the rulers of the earth.

8 surge Deus iudica terram quoniam tu hereditabis in omnibus gentibus

Up! O God, come as judge of the earth; for all the nations are your heritage.
