< Psalms 82 >
1 A psalm of Asaph. God has taken his stand in the divine assembly: in the midst of the gods he holds judgment.
詠【警告為民長者】阿撒夫的詩歌。 天主親臨眾神的會議,在眾神之中主張公理:
2 ‘How long will you crookedly judge, and favour the wicked? (Selah)
你們不正義審理,偏袒惡人要到何時? (休止)
3 Do right by the weak and the orphan, acquit the innocent poor.
你們應保護受苦的人和孤兒,為貧窮與可憐的人主持正義。
4 Rescue the weak and the needy, save them from the hand of the wicked.
應拯救弱小及窮苦的人,由惡人的爪牙拯救他們。
5 ‘They have neither knowledge nor insight, in darkness they walk to and fro, while the earth’s foundations totter.
他們原本無知無識,在暗中摸索,卻把大地的一切根基動搖。
6 It was I who appointed you gods, children of the Most High all of you.
我親自說過:你們都是神,眾人都是至高者的子民。
7 Yet like mortals you will surely die, you will fall like any prince.’
但是你們必要死亡像眾人一樣,必要消失像任何一位王侯一樣。
8 Arise, O God, judge the earth, for all nations are yours by inheritance.
天主,求您起來審判下土,因為萬國都應由您佔據。
