Psalmorum 82

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

A Psalm for Asaph. God stands in the assembly of gods; and in the midst [of them] will judge gods.

2 usquequo iudicatis iniquitatem et facies peccatorum sumitis diapsalma

How long will you judge unrighteously, and accept the persons of sinners? (Pause)

3 iudicate egenum et pupillum humilem et pauperem iustificate

Judge the orphan and poor: do justice to the low and needy.

4 eripite pauperem et egenum de manu peccatoris liberate

Rescue the needy, and deliver the poor out of the hand of the sinner.

5 nescierunt neque intellexerunt in tenebris ambulant movebuntur omnia fundamenta terrae

They know not, nor understand; they walk on in darkness: all the foundations of the earth shall be shaken.

6 ego dixi dii estis et filii Excelsi omnes

I have said, You are gods; and all [of you] children of the Most High.

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

But you die as men, and fall as one of the princes.

8 surge Deus iudica terram quoniam tu hereditabis in omnibus gentibus

Arise, O God, judge the earth: for you shall inherit all nations.
