Psalms 82

1 A psalm of Asaph. God stands in the midst of his great assembly to judge among the gods.

١ مَزْمُورٌ لآسَافَ. اللهُ يَتَرَأَّسُ سَاحَةَ قَضَائِهِ، وَعَلَى القُضَاةِ يُصْدِرُ حُكْماً.

2 How long will you make unfair judgments and show favoritism to the wicked? (Selah)

٢ حَتَّى مَتَى تَقْضُونَ بِالظُّلْمِ وَتَنْحَازُونَ إِلَى الأَشْرَارِ؟

3 Defend the poor and orphans; support the rights of those who are oppressed and suffering.

٣ احْكُمُوا لِلذَّلِيلِ وَالْيَتِيمِ. وَأَنْصِفُوا الْمِسْكِينَ وَالْبَائِسَ.

4 Rescue the poor and those unable to help themselves; save them from the clutches of evil people.

٤ أَنْقِذُوا الْمِسْكِينَ وَالْفَقِيرَ؛ أَنْقِذُوهُمَا مِنْ قَبْضَةِ الأَشْرَارِ.

5 They don't have any wisdom; they live in the dark; the foundations of the earth are shaken.

٥ هُمْ مِنْ غَيْرِ مَعْرِفَةٍ وَفَهْمٍ، يَتَمَشَّوْنَ فِي الظُّلْمَةِ وَتَتَزَعْزَعُ أُسُسُ الأَرْضِ مِنْ كَثْرَةِ الْجَوْرِ.

6 I say, “You are gods; all of you are children of the Most High.

٦ أَنَا قُلْتُ: «إِنَّكُمْ آلِهَةٌ، وَجَمِيعَكُمْ بَنُو الْعَلِيِّ.

7 But you will die like any human being, you will fall like any other leader.”

٧ لَكِنَّكُمْ سَتَمُوتُونَ كَالْبَشَرِ، وَتَنْتَهِي حَيَاتُكُمْ مِثْلَ كُلِّ الرُّؤَسَاءِ».

8 Stand up, Lord, and judge the earth, for all the nations belong to you.

٨ قُمْ يَا اللهُ قُمْ. دِنِ الأَرْضَ، لأَنَّكَ أَنْتَ تَمْتَلِكُ الأُمَمَ بِأَسْرِهَا.
