Psalms 82

1 God stands in the congregation of the mighty; he judges among the gods.

ψαλμὸς τῷ Ασαφ ὁ θεὸς ἔστη ἐν συναγωγῇ θεῶν ἐν μέσῳ δὲ θεοὺς διακρίνει

2 How long will all of you judge unjustly, and accept the persons of the wicked? (Selah)

ἕως πότε κρίνετε ἀδικίαν καὶ πρόσωπα ἁμαρτωλῶν λαμβάνετε διάψαλμα

3 Defend the poor and fatherless: do justice to the afflicted and needy.

κρίνατε ὀρφανὸν καὶ πτωχόν ταπεινὸν καὶ πένητα δικαιώσατε

4 Deliver the poor and needy: rid them out of the hand of the wicked.

ἐξέλεσθε πένητα καὶ πτωχόν ἐκ χειρὸς ἁμαρτωλοῦ ῥύσασθε

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

οὐκ ἔγνωσαν οὐδὲ συνῆκαν ἐν σκότει διαπορεύονται σαλευθήσονται πάντα τὰ θεμέλια τῆς γῆς

6 I have said, All of you are gods; and all of you are children of the most High.

ἐγὼ εἶπα θεοί ἐστε καὶ υἱοὶ ὑψίστου πάντες

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

ὑμεῖς δὲ ὡς ἄνθρωποι ἀποθνῄσκετε καὶ ὡς εἷς τῶν ἀρχόντων πίπτετε

8 Arise, O God, judge the earth: for you shall inherit all nations.

ἀνάστα ὁ θεός κρῖνον τὴν γῆν ὅτι σὺ κατακληρονομήσεις ἐν πᾶσιν τοῖς ἔθνεσιν
