Psalms 82

1 A psalm for Asaph. God hath stood in the congregation of gods: and being in the midst of them he judgeth gods.

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

2 How long will you judge unjustly: and accept the persons of the wicked?

Usquequo iudicatis iniquitatem: et facies peccatorum sumitis?

3 Judge for the needy and fatherless: do justice to the humble and the poor.

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

4 Rescue the poor; and deliver the needy out of the hand of the sinner.

Eripite pauperem: et egenum de manu peccatoris liberate.

5 They have not known nor understood: they walk on in darkness: all the foundations of the earth shall be moved.

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

6 I have said: You are gods and all of you the sons of the most High.

Ego dixi: dii estis, et filii excelsi omnes.

7 But you like men shall die: and shall fall like one of the princes.

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

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

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