1God takes his place at the head of a large gathering of leaders. He announces his decisions among them.2He says, ‘How long will you stand up for those who aren’t fair to others? How long will you show mercy to sinful people?3Stand up for the weak and for children whose fathers have died. Protect the rights of people who are poor or treated badly.4Save those who are weak and needy. Save them from the power of sinful people.5‘You leaders don’t know anything. You don’t understand anything. You are in the dark about what is right. Law and order have been destroyed all over the world.6‘I said, “You leaders are like gods. You are all children of the Most High God.”7But you will die, like mere human beings. You will die like every other leader.’8God, rise up. Judge the earth. All the nations belong to you.
1Асафов псалом. Бог стои в Божия събор, съди сред боговете. (Ex 21:6; Ex 22:28; 2Ch 19:6; Ec 5:8)2Докога ще съдите несправедливо и ще показвате лицеприятие към нечестивите? (Села.) (De 1:17; 2Ch 19:7; Pr 18:5)3Съдете справедливо сиромаха и сирачето; отдайте правото на оскърбения и бедния. (Jer 22:3)4Избавяйте сиромаха и бедния, отървавайте ги от ръката на нечестивите. (Job 29:12; Pr 24:11)5Те не знаят, нито разбират, ходят насам-натам в тъмнина; всичките основи на земята се разклащат. (Ps 11:3; Ps 75:3; Mic 3:1)6Аз казах: Богове сте вие; всички сте синове на Всевишния. (Ps 82:1; Joh 10:34)7А при все това вие ще умрете като хора и ще паднете като един от князете. (Job 21:32; Ps 49:12; Eze 31:14)8Стани, Боже, съди земята; защото Ти имаш наследство сред всички народи. (Ps 2:8; Mic 7:2; Mic 7:7; Re 11:15)
