The Book of Psalms

  Psalm 81  

81:1 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.

81:2 How long will you judge unjustly: and accept the persons of the wicked?
Usquequo judicatis iniquitatem, et facies peccatorum sumitis?

81:3 Judge for the needy and fatherless: do justice to the humble and the poor.
Judicate egeno et pupillo; humilem et pauperem justificate.

81:4 Rescue the poor; and deliver the needy out of the hand of the sinner.
Eripite pauperem, et egenum de manu peccatoris liberate.

81:5 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.

81:6 I have said: You are gods, and all of you the sons of the most High.
Ego dixi: Dii estis, et filii Excelsi omnes.

81:7 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.

81:8 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.
