Psalms 82

1 A Psalm by Asaph. God presides in the great assembly. He judges amongst the gods.

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

2 “How long will you judge unjustly, and show partiality to the wicked?” (Selah)

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

3 “Defend the weak, the poor, and the fatherless. Maintain the rights of the poor and oppressed.

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

4 Rescue the weak and needy. Deliver them out of the hand of the wicked.”

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

5 They don’t know, neither do they understand. They walk back and forth in darkness. All the foundations of the earth are shaken.

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

6 I said, “You are gods, all of you are sons of the Most High.

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

7 Nevertheless you shall die like men, and fall like one of the rulers.”

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

8 Arise, God, judge the earth, for you inherit all of the nations.

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