Psalmorum 82

1 Psalmus Asaph. Deus stetit in synagoga deorum: in medio autem deos diiudicat.

A Psalm of Asaph. God standeth in the assembly of God, he judgeth among the gods.

2 Usquequo iudicatis iniquitatem: et facies peccatorum sumitis?

How long will ye judge unrighteously, and accept the person of the wicked? (Selah)

3 Iudicate egeno, et pupillo: humilem, et pauperem iustificate.

Judge the poor and the fatherless, do justice to the afflicted and the destitute;

4 Eripite pauperem: et egenum de manu peccatoris liberate.

Rescue the poor and needy, deliver them out of the hand of the wicked.

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

They know not, neither do they understand; they walk on in darkness: all the foundations of the earth are moved.

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

I have said, Ye are gods, and all of you are children of the Most High;

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

But ye shall die like men, and fall like one of the princes.

8 Surge Deus, iudica terram: quoniam tu hereditabis in omnibus Gentibus.

Arise, O God, judge the earth; for thou shalt inherit all the nations.
