< Mazmur 82 >

1 Mazmur Asaf. Allah berdiri dalam sidang ilahi, di antara para allah Ia menghakimi:
God gathers all the [rulers and judges who think they are] gods for a meeting in heaven; and he tells them that he has decided this:
2 "Berapa lama lagi kamu menghakimi dengan lalim dan memihak kepada orang fasik? (Sela)
“You must [RHQ] stop judging [people] unfairly; you must no longer make decisions that favor wicked [people]!
3 Berilah keadilan kepada orang yang lemah dan kepada anak yatim, belalah hak orang sengsara dan orang yang kekurangan!
You must defend [people who are] poor and orphans; you must act fairly toward those who are needy and those who have no one to help them.
4 Luputkanlah orang yang lemah dan yang miskin, lepaskanlah mereka dari tangan orang fasik!"
Rescue them from the power [MTY] of evil [people] [DOU]!”
5 Mereka tidak tahu dan tidak mengerti apa-apa, dalam kegelapan mereka berjalan; goyanglah segala dasar bumi.
[Those rulers] do not know or understand anything! They are very corrupt/evil, and [as a result of their corrupt/evil behavior], [it is as though] the foundation of the world is being shaken!
6 Aku sendiri telah berfirman: "Kamu adalah allah, dan anak-anak Yang Mahatinggi kamu sekalian. --
I [the all-powerful God, previously] said to them, “You think you are gods! [It is as though] you are all my sons,
7 Namun seperti manusia kamu akan mati dan seperti salah seorang pembesar kamu akan tewas."
but you will die like people do; your lives will end, like the lives of all rulers end.”
8 Bangunlah ya Allah, hakimilah bumi, sebab Engkaulah yang memiliki segala bangsa.
God, arise and judge [everyone on] [MTY] the earth, because all the people-groups belong to you!
