Psalmorum 82

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

— A Psalm of Asaph. God hath stood in the company of God, In the midst God doth judge.

2 usquequo iudicatis iniquitatem et facies peccatorum sumitis diapsalma

Till when do ye judge perversely? And the face of the wicked lift up? (Selah)

3 iudicate egenum et pupillum humilem et pauperem iustificate

Judge ye the weak and fatherless, The afflicted and the poor declare righteous.

4 eripite pauperem et egenum de manu peccatoris liberate

Let the weak and needy escape, From the hand of the wicked deliver them.

5 nescierunt neque intellexerunt in tenebris ambulant movebuntur omnia fundamenta terrae

They knew not, nor do they understand, In darkness they walk habitually, Moved are all the foundations of earth.

6 ego dixi dii estis et filii Excelsi omnes

I — I have said, 'Gods ye [are], And sons of the Most High — all of you,

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

But as man ye die, and as one of the heads ye fall,

8 surge Deus iudica terram quoniam tu hereditabis in omnibus gentibus

Rise, O God, judge the earth, For Thou hast inheritance among all the nations!
