< Psalms 82 >

1 God stands in the congregation of God. He judges among the gods.
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:
2 How long will ye judge unjustly, and respect the persons of the wicked? (Selah)
你們不正義審理,偏袒惡人要到何時? (休止)
3 Judge the poor man and the orphan. Do justice to the afflicted and destitute man.
你們應保護受苦的人和孤兒,為貧窮與可憐的人主持正義。
4 Rescue the poor and needy man. Deliver from the hand of the wicked man.
應拯救弱小及窮苦的人,由惡人的爪牙拯救他們。
5 They know not, nor do they understand. They walk to and fro in darkness. All the foundations of the earth are shaken.
他們原本無知無識,在暗中摸索,卻把大地的一切根基動搖。
6 I said, Ye are gods, and all of you sons of the Most High.
我親自說過:你們都是神,眾人都是至高者的子民。
7 Nevertheless ye shall die like men, and fall like one of the rulers.
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。
8 Arise, O God, judge the earth, for thou shall inherit all the nations.
天主,求您起來審判下土,因為萬國都應由您佔據。
