Psalmorum 82

1 Psalmus Asaph. [Deus stetit in synagoga deorum; in medio autem deos dijudicat.

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

2 Usquequo judicatis iniquitatem, et facies peccatorum sumitis?

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

3 Judicate egeno et pupillo; humilem et pauperem justificate.

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

4 Eripite pauperem, et egenum de manu peccatoris liberate.

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

5 Nescierunt, neque intellexerunt; in tenebris ambulant: movebuntur omnia fundamenta terræ.

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

6 Ego dixi: Dii estis, et filii Excelsi omnes.

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

7 Vos autem sicut homines moriemini, et sicut unus de principibus cadetis.

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

8 Surge, Deus, judica terram, quoniam tu hæreditabis in omnibus gentibus.]

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