Psalms 82

1 A Melody of Asaph. God, hath taken his place in the august assembly, In the midst of the gods, will he judge.

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 ye judge perversely, And, the countenances of the lawless, uplift? (Selah)

你們不正義審理，偏袒惡人要到何時？ （休止）

3 Vindicate the weak and the fatherless, The oppressed and the poor, see righted;

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 Deliver the weak and the needy, Out of the hand of the lawless, make rescue.

應拯救弱小及窮苦的人，由惡人的爪牙拯救他們。

5 They know not, neither can they perceive, In darkness, they wander, All the foundations of the earth do shake.

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 I, said, Gods, ye are, Yea, sons of the Highest, are ye all;

我親自說過：你們都是神，眾人都是至高者的子民。

7 But indeed, like the earth-born, shall ye die! And, like one of the princes, shall ye fall!

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 thou the earth, For, thou, wilt inherit all the nations.

天主，求您起來審判下土，因為萬國都應由您佔據。
