Psalms 82

1 God gathers all the [rulers and judges who think they are] gods for a meeting in heaven; and he tells them that he has decided this:

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

2 “You must [RHQ] stop judging [people] unfairly; you must no longer make decisions that favor wicked [people]!

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

3 You must defend [people who are] poor and orphans; you must act fairly toward those who are needy and those who have no one to help them.

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

4 Rescue them from the power [MTY] of evil [people] [DOU]!”

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

5 [Those rulers] do not know or understand anything! They are very corrupt/evil, and [as a result of their corrupt/evil behavior], [it is as though] the foundation of the world is being shaken!

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

6 I [the all-powerful God, previously] said to them, “You think you are gods! [It is as though] you are all my sons,

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

7 but you will die like people do; your lives will end, like the lives of all rulers end.”

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

8 God, arise and judge [everyone on] [MTY] the earth, because all the people-groups belong to you!

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