Psalmorum 82

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

A Psalme committed to Aspah. God standeth in the assemblie of gods: hee iudgeth among gods.

2 Usquequo judicatis iniquitatem, et facies peccatorum sumitis?

How long wil ye iudge vniustly, and accept the persons of the wicked? (Selah)

3 Judicate egeno et pupillo; humilem et pauperem justificate.

Doe right to the poore and fatherlesse: doe iustice to the poore and needie.

4 Eripite pauperem, et egenum de manu peccatoris liberate.

Deliuer the poore and needie: saue them from the hand of the wicked.

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

They knowe not and vnderstand nothing: they walke in darkenes, albeit all the foundations of the earth be mooued.

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

I haue said, Ye are gods, and ye all are children of the most High.

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

But ye shall die as a man, and yee princes, shall fall like others.

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

O God, arise, therefore iudge thou the earth: for thou shalt inherite all nations.
