< 詩篇 82 >
1 亞薩的詩。 上帝站在有權力者的會中, 在諸神中行審判,
— A Psalm of Asaph. God hath stood in the company of God, In the midst God doth judge.
2 說:你們審判不秉公義, 徇惡人的情面,要到幾時呢? (細拉)
Till when do ye judge perversely? And the face of the wicked lift up? (Selah)
3 你們當為貧寒的人和孤兒伸冤; 當為困苦和窮乏的人施行公義。
Judge ye the weak and fatherless, The afflicted and the poor declare righteous.
Let the weak and needy escape, From the hand of the wicked deliver them.
5 你們仍不知道,也不明白, 在黑暗中走來走去; 地的根基都搖動了。
They knew not, nor do they understand, In darkness they walk habitually, Moved are all the foundations of earth.
I — I have said, 'Gods ye [are], And sons of the Most High — all of you,
7 然而,你們要死,與世人一樣, 要仆倒,像王子中的一位。
But as man ye die, and as one of the heads ye fall,
8 上帝啊,求你起來審判世界, 因為你要得萬邦為業。
Rise, O God, judge the earth, For Thou hast inheritance among all the nations!
