Psalms 82

1 A Psalm of Asaph. God standeth in the congregation of God; in the midst of the judges He judgeth:

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

2 'How long will ye judge unjustly, and respect the persons of the wicked? (Selah)

Usquequo iudicatis iniquitatem: et facies peccatorum sumitis?

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

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

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

Eripite pauperem: et egenum de manu peccatoris liberate.

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

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

6 I said: Ye are godlike beings, and all of you sons of the Most High.

Ego dixi: dii estis, et filii excelsi omnes.

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

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

8 Arise, O God, judge the earth; for Thou shalt possess all nations.

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