< תהילים 82 >
מִזְמוֹר לְאָסָף אֱֽלֹהִים נִצָּב בַּעֲדַת־אֵל בְּקֶרֶב אֱלֹהִים יִשְׁפֹּֽט׃ | 1 |
A psalm of Asaph. God has taken his stand in the divine assembly: in the midst of the gods he holds judgment.
עַד־מָתַי תִּשְׁפְּטוּ־עָוֶל וּפְנֵי רְשָׁעִים תִּשְׂאוּ־סֶֽלָה׃ | 2 |
‘How long will you crookedly judge, and favour the wicked? (Selah)
שִׁפְטוּ־דַל וְיָתוֹם עָנִי וָרָשׁ הַצְדִּֽיקוּ׃ | 3 |
Do right by the weak and the orphan, acquit the innocent poor.
פַּלְּטוּ־דַל וְאֶבְיוֹן מִיַּד רְשָׁעִים הַצִּֽילוּ׃ | 4 |
Rescue the weak and the needy, save them from the hand of the wicked.
לֹא יָדְעוּ ׀ וְלֹא יָבִינוּ בַּחֲשֵׁכָה יִתְהַלָּכוּ יִמּוֹטוּ כׇּל־מוֹסְדֵי אָֽרֶץ׃ | 5 |
‘They have neither knowledge nor insight, in darkness they walk to and fro, while the earth’s foundations totter.
אֲֽנִי־אָמַרְתִּי אֱלֹהִים אַתֶּם וּבְנֵי עֶלְיוֹן כֻּלְּכֶֽם׃ | 6 |
It was I who appointed you gods, children of the Most High all of you.
אָכֵן כְּאָדָם תְּמוּתוּן וּכְאַחַד הַשָּׂרִים תִּפֹּֽלוּ׃ | 7 |
Yet like mortals you will surely die, you will fall like any prince.’
קוּמָה אֱלֹהִים שׇׁפְטָה הָאָרֶץ כִּֽי־אַתָּה תִנְחַל בְּכׇל־הַגּוֹיִֽם׃ | 8 |
Arise, O God, judge the earth, for all nations are yours by inheritance.
