1A psalm for Asaph. God hath stood in the congregation of gods: and being in the midst of them he judgeth gods.
1Ψαλμὸς τῷ Ἀσάφ. Ο ΘΕΟΣ ἔστη ἐν συναγωγῇ θεῶν, ἐν μέσῳ δὲ θεοὺς διακρινεῖ.
2How long will you judge unjustly: and accept the persons of the wicked?
2ἕως πότε κρίνετε ἀδικίαν καὶ πρόσωπα ἁμαρτωλῶν λαμβάνετε; (διάψαλμα).
3Judge for the needy and fatherless: do justice to the humble and the poor.
3κρίνατε ὀρφανῷ καὶ πτωχῷ, ταπεινὸν καὶ πένητα δικαιώσατε·
4Rescue the poor; and deliver the needy out of the hand of the sinner.
4ἐξέλεσθε πένητα καὶ πτωχόν, ἐκ χειρὸς ἁμαρτωλοῦ ρύσασθε αὐτόν.
5They have not known nor understood: they walk on in darkness: all the foundations of the earth shall be moved.
5οὐκ ἔγνωσαν οὐδὲ συνῆκαν, ἐν σκότει διαπορεύονται· σαλευθήσονται πάντα τὰ θεμέλια τῆς γῆς.
6I have said: You are gods and all of you the sons of the most High.
6ἐγὼ εἶπα· θεοί ἐστε καὶ υἱοὶ Ὑψίστου πάντες·
7But you like men shall die: and shall fall like one of the princes.
7ὑμεῖς δὲ ὡς ἄνθρωποι ἀποθνήσκετε καὶ ὡς εἷς τῶν ἀρχόντων πίπτετε.
8Arise, O God, judge thou the earth: for thou shalt inherit among all the nations.
8ἀνάστα, ὁ Θεός, κρίνων τὴν γῆν, ὅτι σὺ κατακληρονομήσεις ἐν πᾶσι τοῖς ἔθνεσι.
