Nnwom 82

1 Asaf dwom. Onyankopɔn di hene wɔ ɔsoro asafo mu; obu atɛn wɔ “anyame” mu.

A Psalm of Asaph. God presides in the divine assembly; He renders judgment among the gods:

2 “Wobɛbɔ wɔn a wɔnteɛ ho ban na woayɛ nhwɛanim ama amumɔyɛfo akosi da bɛn?

“How long will you judge unjustly and show partiality to the wicked?

3 Monka mmɔborɔfo ne ayisaa asɛm mma wɔn; mommɔ ahiafo ne wɔn a wɔhyɛ wɔn so yiyedi ho ban.

Defend the cause of the weak and fatherless; uphold the rights of the afflicted and oppressed.

4 Munnye ɔbrɛfo ne ahiafo; munnye wɔn mfi amumɔyɛfo nsam.

Rescue the weak and needy; save them from the hand of the wicked.

5 “Anyame no nnim de, na wɔnte hwee ase. Wokyinkyin wɔ sum mu; na asase fapem nyinaa wosow.

They do not know or understand; they wander in the darkness; all the foundations of the earth are shaken.

6 “Mekae se, ‘Moyɛ “anyame;” mo nyinaa yɛ Ɔsorosoroni no mma.’

I have said, ‘You are gods; you are all sons of the Most High.’

7 Nanso mubewuwu sɛ nnipa pɛ; na moahwe ase sɛ ɔsodifo biara.”

But like mortals you will die, and like rulers you will fall.”

8 Ao Onyankopɔn, sɔre, bu wiase atɛn; efisɛ amanaman nyinaa yɛ wo de.

Arise, O God, judge the earth, for all the nations are Your inheritance.
