Psalms 82

1 A Psalm of Asaph. God standeth in the assembly of God, he judgeth among the gods.

מִזְמוֹר לְאָסָף אֱ‍ֽלֹהִים נִצָּב בַּעֲדַת־אֵל בְּקֶרֶב אֱלֹהִים יִשְׁפֹּֽט׃

2 How long will ye judge unrighteously, and accept the person of the wicked? (Selah)

עַד־מָתַי תִּשְׁפְּטוּ־עָוֶל וּפְנֵי רְשָׁעִים תִּשְׂאוּ־סֶֽלָה׃

3 Judge the poor and the fatherless, do justice to the afflicted and the destitute;

שִׁפְטוּ־דַל וְיָתוֹם עָנִי וָרָשׁ הַצְדִּֽיקוּ׃

4 Rescue the poor and needy, deliver them out of the hand of the wicked.

פַּלְּטוּ־דַל וְאֶבְיוֹן מִיַּד רְשָׁעִים הַצִּֽילוּ׃

5 They know not, neither do they understand; they walk on in darkness: all the foundations of the earth are moved.

לֹא יָֽדְעוּ ׀ וְלֹא יָבִינוּ בַּחֲשֵׁכָה יִתְהַלָּכוּ יִמּוֹטוּ כָּל־מוֹסְדֵי אָֽרֶץ׃

6 I have said, Ye are gods, and all of you are children of the Most High;

אֲ‍ֽנִי־אָמַרְתִּי אֱלֹהִים אַתֶּם וּבְנֵי עֶלְיוֹן כֻּלְּכֶֽם׃

7 But ye shall die like men, and fall like one of the princes.

אָכֵן כְּאָדָם תְּמוּתוּן וּכְאַחַד הַשָּׂרִים תִּפֹּֽלוּ׃

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

קוּמָה אֱלֹהִים שָׁפְטָה הָאָרֶץ כִּֽי־אַתָּה תִנְחַל בְּכָל־הַגּוֹיִֽם׃
