A psalm for Asaph.
God hath stood in the congregation of gods: and being in the midst of them he judgeth gods.

Psalmus Asaph.
Deus stetit in synagoga deorum; in medio autem deos dijudicat.

(A psalm. Of Asaph.)
See, where he stands, the Ruler of all, among the rulers assembled, comes for-ward to pronounce judgement on the rulers themselves!

How long will you judge unjustly: and accept the persons of the wicked?

Usquequo judicatis iniquitatem, et facies peccatorum sumitis?

Will you never cease perverting justice, espousing the cause of the wicked?

Judge for the needy and fatherless: do justice to the humble and the poor.

Judicate egeno et pupillo; humilem et pauperem justificate.

Come, give redress to the poor and the friendless, do right to the afflicted and the destitute;

Rescue the poor; and deliver the needy out of the hand of the sinner.

Eripite pauperem, et egenum de manu peccatoris liberate.

to you need and poverty look for deliverance, rescue them from the hand of the wickedness.

They have not known nor understood: they walk on in darkness: all the foundations of the earth shall be moved.

Nescierunt, neque intellexerunt; in tenebris ambulant: movebuntur omnia fundamenta terræ.

But no, ignorant and unperceiving, they grope their way in darkness; see how unstable are the props of earth!

I have said: You are gods and all of you the sons of the most High.

Ego dixi: Dii estis, et filii Excelsi omnes.

Gods you are, I myself have declared it; favoured children, every one of you, of the most High;

But you like men shall die: and shall fall like one of the princes.

Vos autem sicut homines moriemini, et sicut unus de principibus cadetis.

yet the doom of mortals awaits you, you shall fall with the fall of human princes.

Arise, O God, judge thou the earth: for thou shalt inherit among all the nations.

Surge, Deus, judica terram, quoniam tu hæreditabis in omnibus gentibus.

Bestir thyself, Lord, bring the world to judgement; all the nations are thy own domain.
