Psalms 81

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

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

ψαλμὸς τῷ Ασαφ ὁ θεὸς ἔστη ἐν συναγωγῇ θεῶν ἐν μέσῳ δὲ θεοὺς διακρίνει

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

Usquequo judicatis iniquitatem, et facies peccatorum sumitis?

ἕως πότε κρίνετε ἀδικίαν καὶ πρόσωπα ἁμαρτωλῶν λαμβάνετε διάψαλμα

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

Judicate egeno et pupillo; humilem et pauperem justificate.

κρίνατε ὀρφανὸν καὶ πτωχόν ταπεινὸν καὶ πένητα δικαιώσατε

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

Eripite pauperem, et egenum de manu peccatoris liberate.

ἐξέλεσθε πένητα καὶ πτωχόν ἐκ χειρὸς ἁμαρτωλοῦ ῥύσασθε

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.

οὐκ ἔγνωσαν οὐδὲ συνῆκαν ἐν σκότει διαπορεύονται σαλευθήσονται πάντα τὰ θεμέλια τῆς γῆς

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

Ego dixi : Dii estis, et filii Excelsi omnes.

ἐγὼ εἶπα θεοί ἐστε καὶ υἱοὶ ὑψίστου πάντες

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.

ὑμεῖς δὲ ὡς ἄνθρωποι ἀποθνῄσκετε καὶ ὡς εἷς τῶν ἀρχόντων πίπτετε

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.

ἀνάστα ὁ θεός κρῖνον τὴν γῆν ὅτι σὺ κατακληρονομήσεις ἐν πᾶσιν τοῖς ἔθνεσιν
