المَزامِير 82

١ 1 مَزْمُورٌ لآسَافَ. اللهُ يَتَرَأَّسُ سَاحَةَ قَضَائِهِ، وَعَلَى القُضَاةِ يُصْدِرُ حُكْماً.

A Psalm of Asaph. God standeth in the congregation of God; in the midst of the judges He judgeth:

٢ 2 حَتَّى مَتَى تَقْضُونَ بِالظُّلْمِ وَتَنْحَازُونَ إِلَى الأَشْرَارِ؟

'How long will ye judge unjustly, and respect the persons of the wicked? (Selah)

٣ 3 احْكُمُوا لِلذَّلِيلِ وَالْيَتِيمِ. وَأَنْصِفُوا الْمِسْكِينَ وَالْبَائِسَ.

Judge the poor and fatherless; do justice to the afflicted and destitute.

٤ 4 أَنْقِذُوا الْمِسْكِينَ وَالْفَقِيرَ؛ أَنْقِذُوهُمَا مِنْ قَبْضَةِ الأَشْرَارِ.

Rescue the poor and needy; deliver them out of the hand of the wicked.

٥ 5 هُمْ مِنْ غَيْرِ مَعْرِفَةٍ وَفَهْمٍ، يَتَمَشَّوْنَ فِي الظُّلْمَةِ وَتَتَزَعْزَعُ أُسُسُ الأَرْضِ مِنْ كَثْرَةِ الْجَوْرِ.

They know not, neither do they understand; they go about in darkness; all the foundations of the earth are moved.

٦ 6 أَنَا قُلْتُ: «إِنَّكُمْ آلِهَةٌ، وَجَمِيعَكُمْ بَنُو الْعَلِيِّ.

I said: Ye are godlike beings, and all of you sons of the Most High.

٧ 7 لَكِنَّكُمْ سَتَمُوتُونَ كَالْبَشَرِ، وَتَنْتَهِي حَيَاتُكُمْ مِثْلَ كُلِّ الرُّؤَسَاءِ».

Nevertheless ye shall die like men, and fall like one of the princes.'

٨ 8 قُمْ يَا اللهُ قُمْ. دِنِ الأَرْضَ، لأَنَّكَ أَنْتَ تَمْتَلِكُ الأُمَمَ بِأَسْرِهَا.

Arise, O God, judge the earth; for Thou shalt possess all nations.
