Mapisarema 82

1 Pisarema raAsafi. Mwari anogara paungano huru; anotonga pakati pa“vamwari” achiti,

A psalm of Asaph. God stands in the divine assembly; in the midst of the gods he renders judgment.

2 “Muchasvika riniko muchirwira vasakarurama uye muchisanangura vanhu vakaipa? Sera

How long will you judge unjustly and show favoritism to the wicked? (Selah)

3 Tongai mhaka dzavasina simba nenherera; chengetedzai kodzero dzavarombo navakadzvinyirirwa.

Defend the poor and fatherless; maintain the rights of the afflicted and destitute.

4 Nunurai vasina simba navanoshayiwa; varwirei paruoko rwowakaipa.

Rescue the poor and needy; take them out of the hand of the wicked.

5 “Havana chavanoziva, havana chavanonzwisisa. Vanongofamba-famba murima; nheyo dzose dzenyika dzinozungunuswa.

They neither know nor understand; they wander around in the darkness; all the foundations of the earth crumble.

6 “Ndakati, ‘Muri vamwari; imi mose muri vanakomana veWokumusoro-soro.’

I said, “You are gods, and all of you sons of the Most High.

7 Asi muchafa savanhuwo zvavo; muchawa savatongi vose.”

Nevertheless you will die like men and fall like one of the princes.”

8 Simukai, imi Mwari, mutonge nyika, nokuti ndudzi dzose inhaka yenyu.

Arise, God, judge the earth, for you have an inheritance in all the nations.
