< Psalms 82 >

1 A Psalm of Asaph. God standeth in the congregation of the mighty; he judgeth among the gods.
ψαλμὸς τῷ Ασαφ ὁ θεὸς ἔστη ἐν συναγωγῇ θεῶν ἐν μέσῳ δὲ θεοὺς διακρίνει
2 How long will ye judge unjustly, and accept the persons of the wicked? (Selah)
ἕως πότε κρίνετε ἀδικίαν καὶ πρόσωπα ἁμαρτωλῶν λαμβάνετε διάψαλμα
3 Defend the poor and fatherless: do justice to the afflicted and needy.
κρίνατε ὀρφανὸν καὶ πτωχόν ταπεινὸν καὶ πένητα δικαιώσατε
4 Deliver the poor and needy: deliver [them] from the hand of the wicked.
ἐξέλεσθε πένητα καὶ πτωχόν ἐκ χειρὸς ἁμαρτωλοῦ ῥύσασθε
5 They know not, neither will they understand; they walk on in darkness: all the foundations of the earth are out of course.
οὐκ ἔγνωσαν οὐδὲ συνῆκαν ἐν σκότει διαπορεύονται σαλευθήσονται πάντα τὰ θεμέλια τῆς γῆς
6 I have said, Ye [are] gods; and all of you [are] children of the Most High.
ἐγὼ εἶπα θεοί ἐστε καὶ υἱοὶ ὑψίστου πάντες
7 But ye shall die like men, and fall like one of the princes.
ὑμεῖς δὲ ὡς ἄνθρωποι ἀποθνῄσκετε καὶ ὡς εἷς τῶν ἀρχόντων πίπτετε
8 Arise, O God, judge the earth: for thou wilt inherit all nations.
ἀνάστα ὁ θεός κρῖνον τὴν γῆν ὅτι σὺ κατακληρονομήσεις ἐν πᾶσιν τοῖς ἔθνεσιν
