Psalms 82

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

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

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

Usquequo iudicatis iniquitatem: et facies peccatorum sumitis?

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

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

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

Eripite pauperem: et egenum de manu peccatoris liberate.

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

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

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

Ego dixi: dii estis, et filii excelsi omnes.

7 But all of you 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 you shall inherit all nations.

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