Psalms 82

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

Gud staar i Guds Menighed; han dømmer midt iblandt Guder.

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

Hvor længe ville I dømme Uret og anse de ugudeliges Personer? (Sela)

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

Skaffer den ringe og den faderløse Ret; hjælper den elendige og den arme til Retfærdighed!

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

Redder den ringe og den fattige; udfrier ham af de ugudeliges Haand!

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

De skønne ikke og forstaa ikke, de vandre i Mørke; alle Jordens Grundpiller ryste.

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

Jeg har sagt: I ere Guder, og I ere alle den Højestes Sønner.

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

Men I skulle dø som Mennesker, og som en af Fyrsterne skulle I falde.

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

Gud! gør dig rede, døm Jorden; thi du skal tage Arv iblandt alle Hedninger.
