Chapter 82
1מִזְמוֹר לְאָסָף אֱֽלֹהִים נִצָּב בַּעֲדַת־אֵל בְּקֶרֶב אֱלֹהִים יִשְׁפֹּֽטA psalm of Asaph. God stands in the divine assembly, pronouncing judgment among the divine beings.
2עַד־מָתַי תִּשְׁפְּטוּ־עָוֶל וּפְנֵי רְשָׁעִים תִּשְׂאוּ־סֶֽלָהHow long will you judge perversely, showing favor to the wicked? Selah.
3שִׁפְטוּ־דַל וְיָתוֹם עָנִי וָרָשׁ הַצְדִּֽיקוּJudge the wretched and the orphan, vindicate the lowly and the poor,
4פַּלְּטוּ־דַל וְאֶבְיוֹן מִיַּד רְשָׁעִים הַצִּֽילוּrescue the wretched and the needy; save them from the hand of the wicked.
5לֹא יָדְעוּ וְלֹא יָבִינוּ בַּחֲשֵׁכָה יִתְהַלָּכוּ יִמּוֹטוּ כׇּל־מוֹסְדֵי אָֽרֶץThey neither know nor understand, they go about in darkness; all the foundations of the earth totter.
6אֲֽנִי־אָמַרְתִּי אֱלֹהִים אַתֶּם וּבְנֵי עֶלְיוֹן כֻּלְּכֶֽםI had taken you for divine beings, attendants of the Most High, all of you;
7אָכֵן כְּאָדָם תְּמוּתוּן וּכְאַחַד הַשָּׂרִים תִּפֹּֽלוּbut you shall die as mortals do, fall like any prince.
8קוּמָה אֱלֹהִים שׇׁפְטָה הָאָרֶץ כִּֽי־אַתָּה תִנְחַל בְּכׇל־הַגּוֹיִֽםArise, O God, judge the earth, for all the nations are Your possession.
