Psalms 82

1 A Psalm by Asaph. God presides in the great assembly. He judges among the gods.

١ مَزْمُورٌ لِآسَافَ ٱللهُ قَائِمٌ فِي مَجْمَعِ ٱللهِ. فِي وَسْطِ ٱلْآلِهَةِ يَقْضِي:

2 “How long will you judge unjustly, and show partiality to the wicked?” (Selah)

٢ «حَتَّى مَتَى تَقْضُونَ جَوْرًا وَتَرْفَعُونَ وُجُوهَ ٱلْأَشْرَارِ؟ سِلَاهْ.

3 “Defend the weak, the poor, and the fatherless. Maintain the rights of the poor and oppressed.

٣ اِقْضُوا لِلذَّلِيلِ وَلِلْيَتِيمِ. أَنْصِفُوا ٱلْمِسْكِينَ وَٱلْبَائِسَ.

4 Rescue the weak and needy. Deliver them out of the hand of the wicked.”

٤ نَجُّوا ٱلْمِسْكِينَ وَٱلْفَقِيرَ. مِنْ يَدِ ٱلْأَشْرَارِ أَنْقِذُوا.

5 They do not know, neither do they understand. They walk back and forth in darkness. All the foundations of the earth are shaken.

٥ «لَا يَعْلَمُونَ وَلَا يَفْهَمُونَ. فِي ٱلظُّلْمَةِ يَتَمَشَّوْنَ. تَتَزَعْزَعُ كُلُّ أُسُسِ ٱلْأَرْضِ.

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

٦ أَنَا قُلْتُ: إِنَّكُمْ آلِهَةٌ وَبَنُو ٱلْعَلِيِّ كُلُّكُمْ.

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

٧ لَكِنْ مِثْلَ ٱلنَّاسِ تَمُوتُونَ وَكَأَحَدِ ٱلرُّؤَسَاءِ تَسْقُطُونَ».

8 Arise, God, judge the earth, for you inherit all of the nations.

٨ قُمْ يَا ٱللهُ. دِنِ ٱلْأَرْضَ، لِأَنَّكَ أَنْتَ تَمْتَلِكُ كُلَّ ٱلْأُمَمِ.
