Psalms 82

(En Salme af Asaf.) Gud står frem i Guders Forsamling midt iblandt Guder holder han Dom

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

"Hvor længe vil I dømme uredeligt og holde med de gudløse? - Sela.

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

Skaf de ringe og faderløse Ret, kend de arme og nødstedte fri;

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

red de ringe og fattige, fri dem ud af de gudløses Hånd!

Deliver the poor and needy: rid them out of the hand of the wicked.

Dog, de kender intet, sanser intet, i Mørke vandrer de om, alle Jordens Grundvolde vakler.

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

Jeg har sagt, at I er Guder, I er alle den Højestes Sønner;

I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High.

dog skal I dø som Mennesker, styrte som en af Fyrsterne!"

But ye shall die like men, and fall like one of the princes.

Rejs dig, o Gud, døm Jorden, thi alle Folkene får du til Arv!

Arise, O God, judge the earth: for thou shalt inherit all nations.
