Psalms 82

1 A Psalm. Of Asaph. God is in the meeting-place of God; he is judging among the gods.

Gud staar i Guds Menighed; han dømmer midt iblandt Guder.

2 How long will you go on judging falsely, having respect for the persons of evil-doers? (Selah)

Hvor længe ville I dømme Uret og anse de ugudeliges Personer? (Sela)

3 Give ear to the cause of the poor and the children without fathers; let those who are troubled and in need have their rights.

Skaffer den ringe og den faderløse Ret; hjælper den elendige og den arme til Retfærdighed!

4 Be the saviour of the poor and those who have nothing: take them out of the hand of the evil-doers.

Redder den ringe og den fattige; udfrier ham af de ugudeliges Haand!

5 They have no knowledge or sense; they go about in the dark: all the bases of the earth are moved.

De skønne ikke og forstaa ikke, de vandre i Mørke; alle Jordens Grundpiller ryste.

6 I said, You are gods; all of you are the sons of the Most High:

Jeg har sagt: I ere Guder, og I ere alle den Højestes Sønner.

7 But you will come to death like men, falling like one of the rulers of the earth.

Men I skulle dø som Mennesker, og som en af Fyrsterne skulle I falde.

8 Up! O God, come as judge of the earth; for all the nations are your heritage.

Gud! gør dig rede, døm Jorden; thi du skal tage Arv iblandt alle Hedninger.
