Psalms 82

1 God stands in the congregation of God. He judges among the gods.

Psalmus Asaph. Deus stetit in synagoga deorum: in medio autem deos diiudicat.

2 How long will ye judge unjustly, and respect the persons of the wicked? (Selah)

Usquequo iudicatis iniquitatem: et facies peccatorum sumitis?

3 Judge the poor man and the orphan. Do justice to the afflicted and destitute man.

Iudicate egeno, et pupillo: humilem, et pauperem iustificate.

4 Rescue the poor and needy man. Deliver from the hand of the wicked man.

Eripite pauperem: et egenum de manu peccatoris liberate.

5 They know not, nor do they understand. They walk to and fro in darkness. All the foundations of the earth are shaken.

Nescierunt, neque intellexerunt, in tenebris ambulant: movebuntur omnia fundamenta terræ.

6 I said, Ye are gods, and all of you sons of the Most High.

Ego dixi: dii estis, et filii excelsi omnes.

7 Nevertheless ye shall die like men, and fall like one of the rulers.

Vos autem sicut homines moriemini: et sicut unus de principibus cadetis.

8 Arise, O God, judge the earth, for thou shall inherit all the nations.

Surge Deus, iudica terram: quoniam tu hereditabis in omnibus gentibus.
