Psalmorum 82

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

“A psalm of Asaph.” God standeth in God's assembly, He judgeth in the midst of the gods.

2 usquequo iudicatis iniquitatem et facies peccatorum sumitis diapsalma

“How long will ye judge unjustly, And favor the cause of the wicked? (Pause)

3 iudicate egenum et pupillum humilem et pauperem iustificate

Defend the poor and the fatherless; Do justice to the wretched and the needy!

4 eripite pauperem et egenum de manu peccatoris liberate

Deliver the poor and the destitute; Save them from the hand of the wicked!

5 nescierunt neque intellexerunt in tenebris ambulant movebuntur omnia fundamenta terrae

They are without knowledge and without understanding; They walk in darkness: Therefore all the foundations of the land are shaken.

6 ego dixi dii estis et filii Excelsi omnes

I have said, Ye are gods, And all of you 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 the rest of the princes.”

8 surge Deus iudica terram quoniam tu hereditabis in omnibus gentibus

Arise, O God! judge the earth! For all the nations are thy possession.
