Salme 82

1 (En Salme af Asaf.) Gud står frem i Guders Forsamling midt iblandt Guder holder han Dom

A psalm of Asaph. God stands in the divine assembly; in the midst of the gods he renders judgment.

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

How long will you judge unjustly and show favoritism to the wicked? (Selah)

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

Defend the poor and fatherless; maintain the rights of the afflicted and destitute.

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

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

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

They neither know nor understand; they wander around in the darkness; all the foundations of the earth crumble.

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

I said, “You are gods, and all of you sons of the Most High.

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

Nevertheless you will die like men and fall like one of the princes.”

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

Arise, God, judge the earth, for you have an inheritance in all the nations.
