Salme 82

1 En Salme af Asaf. Gud staar frem i Guders Forsamling, midt iblandt Guder holder han Dom:

A PSALM OF ASAPH. God has stood in the congregation of God, He judges among the gods.

2 »Hvor længe vil I dømme uredeligt og holde med de gudløse? (Sela)

Until when do you judge perversely? And lift up the face of the wicked? (Selah)

3 Skaf de ringe og faderløse Ret, kend de arme og nødstedte fri;

Judge the weak and fatherless, Declare the afflicted and the poor righteous.

4 red de ringe og fattige, fri dem ud af de gudløses Haand!

Let the weak and needy escape, Deliver them from the hand of the wicked.

5 Dog, de kender intet, sanser intet, i Mørke vandrer de om, alle Jordens Grundvolde vakler.

They did not know, nor do they understand, They habitually walk in darkness, All the foundations of earth are moved.

6 Jeg har sagt, at I er Guder, I er alle den Højestes Sønner;

I have said, “You [are] gods, And sons of the Most High—all of you,

7 dog skal I dø som Mennesker, styrte som en af Fyrsterne!«

But you die as man, and you fall as one of the heads.”

8 Rejs dig, o Gud, døm Jorden, thi alle Folkene faar du til Arv!

Rise, O God, judge the earth, For You have inheritance among all the nations!
