Psalms 82

1 melody to/for Asaph God to stand in/on/with congregation God in/on/with entrails: among God to judge

A Psalm of Asaph. God presides in the divine assembly; He renders judgment among the gods:

2 till how to judge injustice and face: kindness wicked to lift: kindness (Selah)

“How long will you judge unjustly and show partiality to the wicked?

3 to judge poor and orphan afflicted and be poor to justify

Defend the cause of the weak and fatherless; uphold the rights of the afflicted and oppressed.

4 to escape poor and needy from hand: power wicked to rescue

Rescue the weak and needy; save them from the hand of the wicked.

5 not to know and not to understand in/on/with darkness to go: walk to shake all foundation land: country/planet

They do not know or understand; they wander in the darkness; all the foundations of the earth are shaken.

6 I to say God you(m. p.) and son: descendant/people Most High all your

I have said, ‘You are gods; you are all sons of the Most High.’

7 surely like/as man to die [emph?] and like/as one [the] ruler to fall: fall

But like mortals you will die, and like rulers you will fall.”

8 to arise: rise [emph?] God to judge [emph?] [the] land: country/planet for you(m. s.) to inherit in/on/with all [the] nation

Arise, O God, judge the earth, for all the nations are Your inheritance.
