82 Psaume d'Asaph. Dieu se tient dans l'assemblée de Dieu; Il juge au milieu des dieux.

Jusques à quand jugerez-vous avec iniquité, Et aurez-vous égard à la personne des méchants? Pause.

Rendez justice au faible et à l'orphelin, Faites droit au malheureux et au pauvre,

Sauvez le misérable et l'indigent, Délivrez-les de la main des méchants.

Ils n'ont ni savoir ni intelligence, Ils marchent dans les ténèbres; Tous les fondements de la terre sont ébranlés.

J'avais dit: Vous êtes des dieux, Vous êtes tous des fils du Très Haut.

Cependant vous mourrez comme des hommes, Vous tomberez comme un prince quelconque.

Lève-toi, ô Dieu, juge la terre! Car toutes les nations t'appartiennent.

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.
How long will you judge unjustly,
And (C)show partiality to the wicked? Selah
[c]Defend the poor and fatherless;
Do justice to the afflicted and (D)needy.
Deliver the poor and needy;
Free them from the hand of the wicked.

They do not know, nor do they understand;
They walk about in darkness;
All the (E)foundations of the earth are [d]unstable.

I said, (F)“You are [e]gods,
And all of you are children of the Most High.
But you shall die like men,
And fall like one of the princes.”

Arise, O God, judge the earth;
(G)For You shall inherit all nations.

God Stands in Judgment

A Psalm of Asaph.

82 God takes His (A)stand in the congregation of [a]God;
He (B)judges in the midst of [b](C)gods.
How long will you (D)judge unrighteously
And (E)show partiality to the wicked? [c]Selah.
(F)Give justice to the poor and the orphan;
Justify the afflicted and destitute.
(G)Protect the poor and needy;
Deliver them out of the hand of the wicked.

They (H)do not know and do not understand;
They (I)walk about in darkness;
All the (J)foundations of the earth are shaken.
[d]I (K)said, “You are gods,
And all of you are (L)sons of the Most High.
Nevertheless (M)you will die like men
And you will fall like any (N)one of the princes.”
(O)Arise, O God, (P)judge the earth!
For it is You who (Q)will inherit all the nations.
