Psalmorum 82

1 psalmus Asaph Deus stetit in synagoga deorum in medio autem Deus deiudicat

“A psalm of Assaph.” God standeth in the congregation of God, in the midst of judges doth he judge.

2 usquequo iudicatis iniquitatem et facies peccatorum sumitis diapsalma

How long will ye judge unjustly, and treat with favor the face of the wicked? (Selah)

3 iudicate egenum et pupillum humilem et pauperem iustificate

Judge uprightly the poor and fatherless: do justice to the afflicted and indigent.

4 eripite pauperem et egenum de manu peccatoris liberate

Release the poor and needy: deliver them out of the power of the wicked.

5 nescierunt neque intellexerunt in tenebris ambulant movebuntur omnia fundamenta terrae

They know not, nor will they understand; in darkness do they walk on: all the foundations of the earth are moved.

6 ego dixi dii estis et filii Excelsi omnes

I have indeed said, Ye are gods; and children of the most High are all of you.

7 vos autem sicut homines moriemini et sicut unus de principibus cadetis

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

8 surge Deus iudica terram quoniam tu hereditabis in omnibus gentibus

Arise, O God, judge the earth; for thou wilt possess all the nations.
