< Psalms 82 >
1 A psalm of Asaph. God stands in the divine assembly; in the midst of the gods he renders judgment.
ψαλμὸς τῷ Ασαφ ὁ θεὸς ἔστη ἐν συναγωγῇ θεῶν ἐν μέσῳ δὲ θεοὺς διακρίνει
2 How long will you judge unjustly and show favoritism to the wicked? (Selah)
ἕως πότε κρίνετε ἀδικίαν καὶ πρόσωπα ἁμαρτωλῶν λαμβάνετε διάψαλμα
3 Defend the poor and fatherless; maintain the rights of the afflicted and destitute.
κρίνατε ὀρφανὸν καὶ πτωχόν ταπεινὸν καὶ πένητα δικαιώσατε
4 Rescue the poor and needy; take them out of the hand of the wicked.
ἐξέλεσθε πένητα καὶ πτωχόν ἐκ χειρὸς ἁμαρτωλοῦ ῥύσασθε
5 They neither know nor understand; they wander around in the darkness; all the foundations of the earth crumble.
οὐκ ἔγνωσαν οὐδὲ συνῆκαν ἐν σκότει διαπορεύονται σαλευθήσονται πάντα τὰ θεμέλια τῆς γῆς
6 I said, “You are gods, and all of you sons of the Most High.
ἐγὼ εἶπα θεοί ἐστε καὶ υἱοὶ ὑψίστου πάντες
7 Nevertheless you will die like men and fall like one of the princes.”
ὑμεῖς δὲ ὡς ἄνθρωποι ἀποθνῄσκετε καὶ ὡς εἷς τῶν ἀρχόντων πίπτετε
8 Arise, God, judge the earth, for you have an inheritance in all the nations.
ἀνάστα ὁ θεός κρῖνον τὴν γῆν ὅτι σὺ κατακληρονομήσεις ἐν πᾶσιν τοῖς ἔθνεσιν
