Psalms 81

1A 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.

2How long will you judge unjustly: and accept the persons of the wicked?

Usquequo judicatis iniquitatem, et facies peccatorum sumitis?

3Judge for the needy and fatherless: do justice to the humble and the poor.

Judicate egeno et pupillo; humilem et pauperem justificate.

4Rescue the poor; and deliver the needy out of the hand of the sinner.

Eripite pauperem, et egenum de manu peccatoris liberate.

5They 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.

6I have said: You are gods and all of you the sons of the most High.

Ego dixi: Dii estis, et filii Excelsi omnes.

7But you like men shall die: and shall fall like one of the princes.

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

8Arise, O God, judge thou the earth: for thou shalt inherit among all the nations.

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