< Psalms 82 >
1 A Psalm of Asaph. God standeth in the congregation of the mighty; he judgeth among the gods.
Psalmus Asaph. Deus stetit in synagoga deorum: in medio autem deos diiudicat.
2 How long will ye 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 terrae.
6 I have said, Ye [are] gods; and all of you [are] children of the most High.
Ego dixi: Dii estis, et filii excelsi omnes.
7 But 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 inherit all nations.
Surge Deus, iudica terram: quoniam tu hereditabis in omnibus Gentibus.
