Psalms 82

1 A Psalm for Asaph. God stands in the assembly of gods; and in the midst [of them] will judge gods.

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

2 How long will you judge unrighteously, and accept the persons of sinners? (Pause)

Usquequo iudicatis iniquitatem: et facies peccatorum sumitis?

3 Judge the orphan and poor: do justice to the low and needy.

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

4 Rescue the needy, and deliver the poor out of the hand of the sinner.

Eripite pauperem: et egenum de manu peccatoris liberate.

5 They know not, nor understand; they walk on in darkness: all the foundations of the earth shall be shaken.

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

6 I have said, You are gods; and all [of you] children of the Most High.

Ego dixi: Dii estis, et filii excelsi omnes.

7 But you die as men, and fall as 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.
