Psalms 82

1 A Psalm of Asaph. God has stood in the synagogue of gods, but, in their midst, he decides between gods.

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

2 How long will you judge unjustly and favor the faces of sinners?

Usquequo iudicatis iniquitatem: et facies peccatorum sumitis?

3 Judge for the indigent and the orphan. Do justice to the humble and the poor.

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

4 Rescue the poor, and free the needy from the hand of the sinner.

Eripite pauperem: et egenum de manu peccatoris liberate.

5 They did not know and did not understand. They wander in darkness. All the foundations of the earth will be moved.

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

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

Ego dixi: Dii estis, et filii excelsi omnes.

7 But you will die like men, and you will fall just like one of the princes.

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

8 Rise up, O God. Judge the earth. For you will inherit it with all the nations.

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