祈願 神審判不公的領袖

亞薩的詩。

82  神站在大能者的會中,

在眾神之中施行審判,說:(本節在《馬索拉文本》包括細字標題)

“你們不按公義審判,

偏袒惡人,要到幾時呢?(細拉)

你們要為貧寒的人和孤兒伸冤,

為困苦和窮乏的人伸張正義。

要搭救貧寒和窮困的人,

救他們脫離惡人的手。”

他們沒有知識,也不明白,

在黑暗中走來走去;

大地的一切根基都搖動了。

我曾說過:“你們都是神,

是至高者的兒子。

然而,你們要像世人一樣死亡,

像世上任何一位領袖一樣倒斃。”

 神啊!求你起來,審判大地,

因為萬國都是你的產業。

82 -- A Psalm of Asaph. God hath stood in the company of God, In the midst God doth judge.

Till when do ye judge perversely? And the face of the wicked lift up? Selah.

Judge ye the weak and fatherless, The afflicted and the poor declare righteous.

Let the weak and needy escape, From the hand of the wicked deliver them.

They knew not, nor do they understand, In darkness they walk habitually, Moved are all the foundations of earth.

I -- I have said, `Gods ye [are], And sons of the Most High -- all of you,

But as man ye die, and as one of the heads ye fall,

Rise, O God, judge the earth, For Thou hast inheritance among all the nations!

Psalm 82

A psalm of Asaph.

God presides in the great assembly;
    he renders judgment(A) among the “gods”:(B)

“How long will you[a] defend the unjust
    and show partiality(C) to the wicked?[b](D)
Defend the weak and the fatherless;(E)
    uphold the cause of the poor(F) and the oppressed.
Rescue the weak and the needy;
    deliver them from the hand of the wicked.

“The ‘gods’ know nothing, they understand nothing.(G)
    They walk about in darkness;(H)
    all the foundations(I) of the earth are shaken.

“I said, ‘You are “gods”;(J)
    you are all sons of the Most High.’
But you will die(K) like mere mortals;
    you will fall like every other ruler.”

Rise up,(L) O God, judge(M) the earth,
    for all the nations are your inheritance.(N)
