Psalm 82 | New International Version

A psalm of Asaph.

1 God presides in the great assembly; he renders judgment among the ‘gods’: 2 ‘How long will you* defend the unjust and show partiality to the wicked?* 3 Defend the weak and the fatherless; uphold the cause of the poor and the oppressed. 4 Rescue the weak and the needy; deliver them from the hand of the wicked. 5 ‘The “gods” know nothing, they understand nothing. They walk about in darkness; all the foundations of the earth are shaken. 6 ‘I said, “You are ‘gods’; you are all sons of the Most High.” 7 But you will die like mere mortals; you will fall like every other ruler.’ 8 Rise up, O God, judge the earth, for all the nations are your inheritance.

Condanna contro i giudici iniqui

1 Salmo di Asaf. Dio sta nell’assemblea divina; egli giudica in mezzo agli dèi. 2 «Fino a quando giudicherete ingiustamente e avrete riguardo agli empi? [Pausa] 3 Difendete la causa del debole e dell’orfano, fate giustizia all’afflitto e al povero! 4 Liberate il misero e il bisognoso, salvatelo dalla mano degli empi! 5 Essi non conoscono né comprendono nulla; camminano nelle tenebre; tutte le fondamenta della terra sono smosse. 6 Io ho detto: “Voi siete dèi, siete figli dell’Altissimo”. 7 Eppure morrete come gli altri uomini e cadrete come ogni altro potente». 8 Sorgi, o Dio, giudica la terra, poiché tutte le nazioni ti appartengono.
