Psalms 82

1 A Psalm of Asaph. God standeth in the congregation of God; he judgeth among the gods.

Psalmus Asaph. [Deus stetit in synagoga deorum; in medio autem deos dijudicat.

2 How long will ye judge unjustly, and respect the persons of the wicked? (Selah)

Usquequo judicatis iniquitatem, et facies peccatorum sumitis?

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

Judicate egeno et pupillo; humilem et pauperem justificate.

4 Rescue the poor and needy: deliver them out of the hand of the wicked.

Eripite pauperem, et egenum de manu peccatoris liberate.

5 They know not, neither do they understand; they walk to and fro in darkness: all the foundations of the earth are moved.

Nescierunt, neque intellexerunt; in tenebris ambulant: movebuntur omnia fundamenta terræ.

6 I said, Ye are gods, and all of you sons of the Most High.

Ego dixi: Dii estis, et filii Excelsi omnes.

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

Vos autem sicut homines moriemini, et sicut unus de principibus cadetis.

8 Arise, O God, judge the earth: for thou shalt inherit all the nations.

Surge, Deus, judica terram, quoniam tu hæreditabis in omnibus gentibus.]
