Psalms 82

1 “A psalm of Assaph.” God standeth in the congregation of God, in the midst of judges doth he judge.

(En Salme af Asaf.) Gud står frem i Guders Forsamling midt iblandt Guder holder han Dom

2 How long will ye judge unjustly, and treat with favor the face of the wicked? (Selah)

"Hvor længe vil I dømme uredeligt og holde med de gudløse? (Sela)

3 Judge uprightly the poor and fatherless: do justice to the afflicted and indigent.

Skaf de ringe og faderløse Ret, kend de arme og nødstedte fri;

4 Release the poor and needy: deliver them out of the power of the wicked.

red de ringe og fattige, fri dem ud af de gudløses Hånd!

5 They know not, nor will they understand; in darkness do they walk on: all the foundations of the earth are moved.

Dog, de kender intet, sanser intet, i Mørke vandrer de om, alle Jordens Grundvolde vakler.

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

Jeg har sagt, at I er Guder, I er alle den Højestes Sønner;

7 But verily like men shall ye die, and like one of the princes shall ye fall.

dog skal I dø som Mennesker, styrte som en af Fyrsterne!"

8 Arise, O God, judge the earth; for thou wilt possess all the nations.

Rejs dig, o Gud, døm Jorden, thi alle Folkene får du til Arv!
