Psalms 82

1 A PSALM OF ASAPH. God has stood in the congregation of God, He judges among the gods.

١ مَزْمُورٌ لآسَافَ. اللهُ يَتَرَأَّسُ سَاحَةَ قَضَائِهِ، وَعَلَى القُضَاةِ يُصْدِرُ حُكْماً.

2 Until when do you judge perversely? And lift up the face of the wicked? (Selah)

٢ حَتَّى مَتَى تَقْضُونَ بِالظُّلْمِ وَتَنْحَازُونَ إِلَى الأَشْرَارِ؟

3 Judge the weak and fatherless, Declare the afflicted and the poor righteous.

٣ احْكُمُوا لِلذَّلِيلِ وَالْيَتِيمِ. وَأَنْصِفُوا الْمِسْكِينَ وَالْبَائِسَ.

4 Let the weak and needy escape, Deliver them from the hand of the wicked.

٤ أَنْقِذُوا الْمِسْكِينَ وَالْفَقِيرَ؛ أَنْقِذُوهُمَا مِنْ قَبْضَةِ الأَشْرَارِ.

5 They did not know, nor do they understand, They habitually walk in darkness, All the foundations of earth are moved.

٥ هُمْ مِنْ غَيْرِ مَعْرِفَةٍ وَفَهْمٍ، يَتَمَشَّوْنَ فِي الظُّلْمَةِ وَتَتَزَعْزَعُ أُسُسُ الأَرْضِ مِنْ كَثْرَةِ الْجَوْرِ.

6 I have said, “You [are] gods, And sons of the Most High—all of you,

٦ أَنَا قُلْتُ: «إِنَّكُمْ آلِهَةٌ، وَجَمِيعَكُمْ بَنُو الْعَلِيِّ.

7 But you die as man, and you fall as one of the heads.”

٧ لَكِنَّكُمْ سَتَمُوتُونَ كَالْبَشَرِ، وَتَنْتَهِي حَيَاتُكُمْ مِثْلَ كُلِّ الرُّؤَسَاءِ».

8 Rise, O God, judge the earth, For You have inheritance among all the nations!

٨ قُمْ يَا اللهُ قُمْ. دِنِ الأَرْضَ، لأَنَّكَ أَنْتَ تَمْتَلِكُ الأُمَمَ بِأَسْرِهَا.
