תהילים 82

1 מִזְמוֹר לְאָסָף אֱֽלֹהִים נִצָּב בַּעֲדַת־אֵל בְּקֶרֶב אֱלֹהִים יִשְׁפֹּֽט׃

A psalm of Asaph. God has taken his stand in the divine assembly: in the midst of the gods he holds judgment.

2 עַד־מָתַי תִּשְׁפְּטוּ־עָוֶל וּפְנֵי רְשָׁעִים תִּשְׂאוּ־סֶֽלָה׃

‘How long will you crookedly judge, and favour the wicked? (Selah)

3 שִׁפְטוּ־דַל וְיָתוֹם עָנִי וָרָשׁ הַצְדִּֽיקוּ׃

Do right by the weak and the orphan, acquit the innocent poor.

4 פַּלְּטוּ־דַל וְאֶבְיוֹן מִיַּד רְשָׁעִים הַצִּֽילוּ׃

Rescue the weak and the needy, save them from the hand of the wicked.

5 לֹא יָדְעוּ ׀ וְלֹא יָבִינוּ בַּחֲשֵׁכָה יִתְהַלָּכוּ יִמּוֹטוּ כׇּל־מוֹסְדֵי אָֽרֶץ׃

‘They have neither knowledge nor insight, in darkness they walk to and fro, while the earth’s foundations totter.

6 אֲֽנִי־אָמַרְתִּי אֱלֹהִים אַתֶּם וּבְנֵי עֶלְיוֹן כֻּלְּכֶֽם׃

It was I who appointed you gods, children of the Most High all of you.

7 אָכֵן כְּאָדָם תְּמוּתוּן וּכְאַחַד הַשָּׂרִים תִּפֹּֽלוּ׃

Yet like mortals you will surely die, you will fall like any prince.’

8 קוּמָה אֱלֹהִים שׇׁפְטָה הָאָרֶץ כִּֽי־אַתָּה תִנְחַל בְּכׇל־הַגּוֹיִֽם׃

Arise, O God, judge the earth, for all nations are yours by inheritance.
