Psalms 82

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

(En Salme af Asaf.) Gud står frem i Guders Forsamling midt iblandt Guder holder han Dom

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

"Hvor længe vil I dømme uredeligt og holde med de gudløse? (Sela)

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

Skaf de ringe og faderløse Ret, kend de arme og nødstedte fri;

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

red de ringe og fattige, fri dem ud af de gudløses Hånd!

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

Dog, de kender intet, sanser intet, i Mørke vandrer de om, alle Jordens Grundvolde vakler.

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

Jeg har sagt, at I er Guder, I er alle den Højestes Sønner;

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

dog skal I dø som Mennesker, styrte som en af Fyrsterne!"

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

Rejs dig, o Gud, døm Jorden, thi alle Folkene får du til Arv!
