Psalmi 82

1 Psalam. Asafov. Bog ustaje u skupštini “bogova”, usred “bogova” sud održava.

A Psalm of Asaph. God presides in the divine assembly; He renders judgment among the gods:

2 “Dokle ćete sudit' krivo, ić' na ruku bezbožnima?

“How long will you judge unjustly and show partiality to the wicked?

3 Štitite slaba i sirotu, vratite pravicu jadniku i siromahu!

Defend the cause of the weak and fatherless; uphold the rights of the afflicted and oppressed.

4 Izbavite potlačenog i ubogog: istrgnite ga iz ruku bezbožnih!”

Rescue the weak and needy; save them from the hand of the wicked.

5 Ne shvaćaju nit' razumiju, po mraku hodaju: poljuljani su svi temelji zemlje.

They do not know or understand; they wander in the darkness; all the foundations of the earth are shaken.

6 Rekoh doduše: “Vi ste bogovi i svi ste sinovi Višnjega!

I have said, ‘You are gods; you are all sons of the Most High.’

7 Ali ćete k'o svi ljudi umrijeti, past ćete kao svatko od velikih!”

But like mortals you will die, and like rulers you will fall.”

8 Ustani, Bože, i sudi zemlju, jer si s pravom gospodar svih naroda.

Arise, O God, judge the earth, for all the nations are Your inheritance.
