< Psalms 82 >

1 [A Psalm by Asaph.] God presides in the assembly of God. He judges among the gods.
詠【警告為民長者】阿撒夫的詩歌。 天主親臨眾神的會議,在眾神之中主張公理:
2 "How long will you judge unjustly, and show partiality to the wicked?" (Selah)
你們不正義審理,偏袒惡人要到何時? (休止)
3 "Defend the weak, the poor, and the fatherless. Maintain the rights of the poor and oppressed.
你們應保護受苦的人和孤兒,為貧窮與可憐的人主持正義。
4 Rescue the weak and needy. Deliver them out of the hand of the wicked."
應拯救弱小及窮苦的人,由惡人的爪牙拯救他們。
5 They do not know, neither do they understand. They walk back and forth in darkness. All the foundations of the earth are shaken.
他們原本無知無識,在暗中摸索,卻把大地的一切根基動搖。
6 I said, "You are gods, all of you are sons of the Most High.
我親自說過:你們都是神,眾人都是至高者的子民。
7 Nevertheless you shall die like men, and fall like one of the rulers."
但是你們必要死亡像眾人一樣,必要消失像任何一位王侯一樣。
8 Arise, God, judge the earth, for you inherit all of the nations.
天主,求您起來審判下土,因為萬國都應由您佔據。
