Ψαλμοί 82

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

A Psalm for Asaph. God stands in the assembly of gods; and in the midst [of them] will judge gods.

2 ἕως πότε κρίνετε ἀδικίαν καὶ πρόσωπα ἁμαρτωλῶν λαμβάνετε διάψαλμα

How long will you judge unrighteously, and accept the persons of sinners? (Pause)

3 κρίνατε ὀρφανὸν καὶ πτωχόν ταπεινὸν καὶ πένητα δικαιώσατε

Judge the orphan and poor: do justice to the low and needy.

4 ἐξέλεσθε πένητα καὶ πτωχόν ἐκ χειρὸς ἁμαρτωλοῦ ῥύσασθε

Rescue the needy, and deliver the poor out of the hand of the sinner.

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

They know not, nor understand; they walk on in darkness: all the foundations of the earth shall be shaken.

6 ἐγὼ εἶπα θεοί ἐστε καὶ υἱοὶ ὑψίστου πάντες

I have said, You are gods; and all [of you] children of the Most High.

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

But you die as men, and fall as one of the princes.

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

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