< Psalms 82 >

1 — A Psalm of Asaph. God hath stood in the company of God, In the midst God doth judge.
(En Salme af Asaf.) Gud står frem i Guders Forsamling midt iblandt Guder holder han Dom
2 Till when do ye judge perversely? And the face of the wicked lift up? (Selah)
"Hvor længe vil I dømme uredeligt og holde med de gudløse? (Sela)
3 Judge ye the weak and fatherless, The afflicted and the poor declare righteous.
Skaf de ringe og faderløse Ret, kend de arme og nødstedte fri;
4 Let the weak and needy escape, From the hand of the wicked deliver them.
red de ringe og fattige, fri dem ud af de gudløses Hånd!
5 They knew not, nor do they understand, In darkness they walk habitually, Moved are all the foundations of earth.
Dog, de kender intet, sanser intet, i Mørke vandrer de om, alle Jordens Grundvolde vakler.
6 I — I have said, 'Gods ye [are], And sons of the Most High — all of you,
Jeg har sagt, at I er Guder, I er alle den Højestes Sønner;
7 But as man ye die, and as one of the heads ye fall,
dog skal I dø som Mennesker, styrte som en af Fyrsterne!"
8 Rise, O God, judge the earth, For Thou hast inheritance among all the nations!
Rejs dig, o Gud, døm Jorden, thi alle Folkene får du til Arv!
