Amahubo 82

1 UNkulunkulu uyema enhlanganweni yabahluleli, uyahlulela phakathi kwabonkulunkulu.

A PSALM OF ASAPH. God has stood in the congregation of God, He judges among the gods.

2 Koze kube nini lisahlulela ngokungalunganga, lisemukela ubuso bababi? (Sela)

Until when do you judge perversely? And lift up the face of the wicked? (Selah)

3 Yahlulelani umyanga lentandane, lilungisele ohluphekayo loswelayo.

Judge the weak and fatherless, Declare the afflicted and the poor righteous.

4 Khululani umyanga loswelayo, libophule esandleni sababi.

Let the weak and needy escape, Deliver them from the hand of the wicked.

5 Kabazi kabaqedisisi, baya le lale emnyameni; izisekelo zonke zomhlaba ziyazamazama.

They did not know, nor do they understand, They habitually walk in darkness, All the foundations of earth are moved.

6 Mina ngathi: Lingonkulunkulu, lonke lingamadodana oPhezukonke.

I have said, “You [are] gods, And sons of the Most High—all of you,

7 Kodwa lizakufa njengabantu, liwe njengesinye seziphathamandla.

But you die as man, and you fall as one of the heads.”

8 Vuka, Nkulunkulu! wahlulele umhlaba; ngoba wena izizwe zonke ziyilifa lakho.

Rise, O God, judge the earth, For You have inheritance among all the nations!
