Psalmorum 82

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

A Psalm of Asaph. God standeth in the congregation of the mighty; he judgeth among the gods.

2 usquequo iudicatis iniquitatem et facies peccatorum sumitis diapsalma

How long will ye judge unjustly, and accept the persons of the wicked? (Selah)

3 iudicate egenum et pupillum humilem et pauperem iustificate

Defend the poor and fatherless: do justice to the afflicted and needy.

4 eripite pauperem et egenum de manu peccatoris liberate

Deliver the poor and needy: deliver them from the hand of the wicked.

5 nescierunt neque intellexerunt in tenebris ambulant movebuntur omnia fundamenta terrae

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

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 nations.
