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 has taken his stand in the divine assembly: in the midst of the gods he holds judgment.

2 你們不正義審理，偏袒惡人要到何時？ （休止）

‘How long will you crookedly judge, and favour 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。

Do right by the weak and the orphan, acquit the innocent poor.

4 應拯救弱小及窮苦的人，由惡人的爪牙拯救他們。

Rescue the weak and the needy, save them from 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 have neither knowledge nor insight, in darkness they walk to and fro, while the earth’s foundations totter.

6 我親自說過：你們都是神，眾人都是至高者的子民。

It was I who appointed you gods, children of the Most High all of you.

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。

Yet like mortals you will surely die, you will fall like any prince.’

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 all nations are yours by inheritance.
