Psalms 82

NEW JERUSALEM	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 [Psalm Of Asaph] God takes his stand in the divine assembly, surrounded by the gods he givesjudgement.	1 A psalm for Asaph. God hath stood in the congregation of gods: and being in the midst of them he judgeth gods.
2 'How much longer wil you give unjust judgements and uphold the prestige of the wicked?	2 How long will you judge unjustly: and accept the persons of the wicked?
3 Let the weak and the orphan have justice, be fair to the wretched and the destitute.Pause	3 Judge for the needy and fatherless: do justice to the humble and the poor.
4 'Rescue the weak and the needy, save them from the clutches of the wicked.	4 Rescue the poor; and deliver the needy out of the hand of the sinner.
5 'Ignorant and uncomprehending, they wander in darkness, while the foundations of the world aretottering.	5 They have not known nor understood: they walk on in darkness: all the foundations of the earth shall be moved.
6 I had thought, "Are you gods, are al of you sons of the Most High?"	6 I have said: You are gods and all of you the sons of the most High.
7 No! you wil die as human beings do, as one man, princes, you will fal .'	7 But you like men shall die: and shall fall like one of the princes.
8 Arise, God, judge the world, for al nations belong to you.	8 Arise, O God, judge thou the earth: for thou shalt inherit among all the nations.
