Psalmorum 82

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

God gathers all the [rulers and judges who think they are] gods for a meeting in heaven; and he tells them that he has decided this:

2 usquequo iudicatis iniquitatem et facies peccatorum sumitis diapsalma

“You must [RHQ] stop judging [people] unfairly; you must no longer make decisions that favor wicked [people]!

3 iudicate egenum et pupillum humilem et pauperem iustificate

You must defend [people who are] poor and orphans; you must act fairly toward those who are needy and those who have no one to help them.

4 eripite pauperem et egenum de manu peccatoris liberate

Rescue them from the power [MTY] of evil [people] [DOU]!”

5 nescierunt neque intellexerunt in tenebris ambulant movebuntur omnia fundamenta terrae

[Those rulers] do not know or understand anything! They are very corrupt/evil, and [as a result of their corrupt/evil behavior], [it is as though] the foundation of the world is being shaken!

6 ego dixi dii estis et filii Excelsi omnes

I [the all-powerful God, previously] said to them, “You think you are gods! [It is as though] you are all my sons,

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

but you will die like people do; your lives will end, like the lives of all rulers end.”

8 surge Deus iudica terram quoniam tu hereditabis in omnibus gentibus

God, arise and judge [everyone on] [MTY] the earth, because all the people-groups belong to you!
