Psaumes 82
Louis Segond
82 Psaume d'Asaph. Dieu se tient dans l'assemblée de Dieu; Il juge au milieu des dieux.
2 Jusques à quand jugerez-vous avec iniquité, Et aurez-vous égard à la personne des méchants? Pause.
3 Rendez justice au faible et à l'orphelin, Faites droit au malheureux et au pauvre,
4 Sauvez le misérable et l'indigent, Délivrez-les de la main des méchants.
5 Ils n'ont ni savoir ni intelligence, Ils marchent dans les ténèbres; Tous les fondements de la terre sont ébranlés.
6 J'avais dit: Vous êtes des dieux, Vous êtes tous des fils du Très Haut.
7 Cependant vous mourrez comme des hommes, Vous tomberez comme un prince quelconque.
8 Lève-toi, ô Dieu, juge la terre! Car toutes les nations t'appartiennent.
Psalm 82
New American Standard Bible
Unjust Judgments Rebuked.
A Psalm of Asaph.
82 God takes His (A)position in [a]His assembly;
He (B)judges in the midst of the (C)gods.
2 How long will you (D)judge unjustly
And (E)show partiality to the wicked? Selah
3 (F)Vindicate the weak and fatherless;
Do justice to the afflicted and destitute.
4 (G)Rescue the weak and needy;
Save them from the hand of the wicked.
5 They (H)do not know nor do they understand;
They (I)walk around in darkness;
All the (J)foundations of the earth are shaken.
6 [b]I (K)said, “You are gods,
And all of you are (L)sons of the Most High.
7 Nevertheless (M)you will die like men,
And fall like (N)one of the princes.”
8 (O)Arise, God, (P)judge the earth!
For You (Q)possess all the nations.

The Message
82 God calls the judges into his courtroom,
he puts all the judges in the dock.
2-4 “Enough! You’ve corrupted justice long enough,
you’ve let the wicked get away with murder.
You’re here to defend the defenseless,
to make sure that underdogs get a fair break;
Your job is to stand up for the powerless,
and prosecute all those who exploit them.”
5 Ignorant judges! Head-in-the-sand judges!
They haven’t a clue to what’s going on.
And now everything’s falling apart,
the world’s coming unglued.
6-7 “I appointed you judges, each one of you,
deputies of the High God,
But you’ve betrayed your commission
and now you’re stripped of your rank, busted.”
8 O God, give them what they’ve got coming!
You’ve got the whole world in your hands!
