Ψαλμοί 82

1 ψαλμὸς τῷ Ασαφ ὁ θεὸς ἔστη ἐν συναγωγῇ θεῶν ἐν μέσῳ δὲ θεοὺς διακρίνει

God stands in the congregation of God. He judges among the gods.

2 ἕως πότε κρίνετε ἀδικίαν καὶ πρόσωπα ἁμαρτωλῶν λαμβάνετε διάψαλμα

How long will ye judge unjustly, and respect the persons of the wicked? (Selah)

3 κρίνατε ὀρφανὸν καὶ πτωχόν ταπεινὸν καὶ πένητα δικαιώσατε

Judge the poor man and the orphan. Do justice to the afflicted and destitute man.

4 ἐξέλεσθε πένητα καὶ πτωχόν ἐκ χειρὸς ἁμαρτωλοῦ ῥύσασθε

Rescue the poor and needy man. Deliver from the hand of the wicked man.

5 οὐκ ἔγνωσαν οὐδὲ συνῆκαν ἐν σκότει διαπορεύονται σαλευθήσονται πάντα τὰ θεμέλια τῆς γῆς

They know not, nor do they understand. They walk to and fro in darkness. All the foundations of the earth are shaken.

6 ἐγὼ εἶπα θεοί ἐστε καὶ υἱοὶ ὑψίστου πάντες

I said, Ye are gods, and all of you sons of the Most High.

7 ὑμεῖς δὲ ὡς ἄνθρωποι ἀποθνῄσκετε καὶ ὡς εἷς τῶν ἀρχόντων πίπτετε

Nevertheless ye shall die like men, and fall like one of the rulers.

8 ἀνάστα ὁ θεός κρῖνον τὴν γῆν ὅτι σὺ κατακληρονομήσεις ἐν πᾶσιν τοῖς ἔθνεσιν

Arise, O God, judge the earth, for thou shall inherit all the nations.
