詩篇 82

1 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：

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

2 你們不正義審理，偏袒惡人要到何時？ （休止）

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

3 你們應保護受苦的人和孤兒，為貧窮與可憐的人主持正義。

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

4 應拯救弱小及窮苦的人，由惡人的爪牙拯救他們。

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

5 他們原本無知無識，在暗中摸索，卻把大地的一切根基動搖。

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

6 我親自說過：你們都是神，眾人都是至高者的子民。

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

7 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。

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

8 天主，求您起來審判下土，因為萬國都應由您佔據。

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