Psalms 82

1 [A Psalm by Asaph.] God presides in the assembly of God. He judges among the gods.

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

2 "How long will you judge unjustly, and show partiality to the wicked?" (Selah)

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

3 "Defend the weak, the poor, and the fatherless. Maintain the rights of the poor and oppressed.

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

4 Rescue the weak and needy. Deliver them out of the hand of the wicked."

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

5 They do not know, neither do they understand. They walk back and forth in darkness. All the foundations of the earth are shaken.

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

6 I said, "You are gods, all of you are sons of the Most High.

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

7 Nevertheless you shall die like men, and fall like one of the rulers."

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

8 Arise, God, judge the earth, for you inherit all of the nations.

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