Psalm 82
New King James Version
A Plea for Justice
A Psalm of Asaph.
82 God (A)stands in the congregation of [a]the mighty;
He judges among (B)the [b]gods.
2 How long will you judge unjustly,
And (C)show partiality to the wicked? Selah
3 [c]Defend the poor and fatherless;
Do justice to the afflicted and (D)needy.
4 Deliver the poor and needy;
Free them from the hand of the wicked.
5 They do not know, nor do they understand;
They walk about in darkness;
All the (E)foundations of the earth are [d]unstable.
6 I said, (F)“You are [e]gods,
And all of you are children of the Most High.
7 But you shall die like men,
And fall like one of the princes.”
8 Arise, O God, judge the earth;
(G)For You shall inherit all nations.

Biblia Sacra Vulgata
82 Canticum Psalmi Asaph.
2 Deus, quis similis erit tibi? ne taceas, neque compescaris, Deus:
3 quoniam ecce inimici tui sonuerunt, et qui oderunt te extulerunt caput.
4 Super populum tuum malignaverunt consilium, et cogitaverunt adversus sanctos tuos.
5 Dixerunt: Venite, et disperdamus eos de gente, et non memoretur nomen Israel ultra.
6 Quoniam cogitaverunt unanimiter; simul adversum te testamentum disposuerunt:
7 tabernacula Idumaeorum et Ismahelitae, Moab et Agareni,
8 Gebal, et Ammon, et Amalec; alienigenae cum habitantibus Tyrum.
9 Etenim Assur venit cum illis: facti sunt in adjutorium filiis Lot.
10 Fac illis sicut Madian et Sisarae, sicut Jabin in torrente Cisson.
11 Disperierunt in Endor; facti sunt ut stercus terrae.
12 Pone principes eorum sicut Oreb, et Zeb, et Zebee, et Salmana: omnes principes eorum,
13 qui dixerunt: Haereditate possideamus sanctuarium Dei.
14 Deus meus, pone illos ut rotam, et sicut stipulam ante faciem venti.
15 Sicut ignis qui comburit silvam, et sicut flamma comburens montes,
16 ita persequeris illos in tempestate tua, et in ira tua turbabis eos.
17 Imple facies eorum ignominia, et quaerent nomen tuum, Domine.
18 Erubescant, et conturbentur in saeculum saeculi, et confundantur, et pereant.
19 Et cognoscant quia nomen tibi Dominus: tu solus Altissimus in omni terra.
