82 Revised Standard Version Passage Biblia Hebraica

82 1God has taken his place in the divine council;
in the midst of the gods he holds judgment:
Against corrupt Judges. Psalm 82(v81)אֱלֹהִים נִצָּב בַּעֲדַת־אֵל בְּקֶרֶב אֱלֹהִים יִשְׁפֹּט׃
2"How long will you judge unjustly
and show partiality to the wicked? Selah
 עַד־מָתַי תִּשְׁפְּטוּ־עָוֶל וּפְנֵי רְשָׁעִים תִּשְׂאוּ־סֶלָה׃
3Give justice to the weak and the fatherless;
maintain the right of the afflicted and the destitute.
 שִׁפְטוּ־דַל וְיָתֹום עָנִי וָרָשׁ הַצְדִּיקוּ׃
4Rescue the weak and the needy;
deliver them from the hand of the wicked."
 פַּלְּטוּ־דַל וְאֶבְיֹון מִיַּד רְשָׁעִים הַצִּילוּ׃
5They have neither knowledge nor understanding, they walk about in darkness;
all the foundations of the earth are shaken.
 לֹא יָדְעוּ וְלֹא יָבִינוּ בַּחֲשֵׁכָה יִתְהַלָּכוּ יִמֹּוטוּ כָּל־מֹוסְדֵי אָרֶץ׃
6I say, "You are gods,
sons of the Most High, all of you;
 אֲנִי־אָמַרְתִּי אֱלֹהִים אַתֶּם וּבְנֵי עֶלְיֹון כֻּלְּכֶם׃
7nevertheless, you shall die like men,
and fall like any prince."
 אָכֵן כְּאָדָם תְּמוּתוּן וּכְאַחַד הַשָּׂרִים תִּפֹּלוּ׃
8Arise O God, judge the earth;
for to thee belong all the nations!
 קוּמָה אֱלֹהִים שָׁפְטָה הָאָרֶץ כִּי־אַתָּה תִנְחַל בְּכָל־הַגֹּויִם׃
