PSALMVS LXXXI — DEVS STETIT
Prayer Text
LATINE
Deus stetit in synagoga deorum: in medio autem deos diiudicat.
Usquequo iudicatis iniquitatem: et facies peccatorum sumitis?
Iudicate egeno, et pupillo: humilem, et pauperem iustificate.
Eripite pauperem: et egenum de manu peccatoris liberate.
Nescierunt, neque intellexerunt, in tenebris ambulant: movebuntur omnia fundamenta terrae.
Ego dixi: Dii estis, et filii Excelsi omnes.
Vos autem sicut homines moriemini: et sicut unus de principibus cadetis.
Surge, Deus, iudica terram: quoniam tu haereditabis in omnibus gentibus.
ENGLISH
God hath stood in the congregation of gods: and being in the midst of them he judgeth gods.
How long will you judge unjustly: and accept the persons of the wicked?
Judge for the needy and fatherless: do justice to the humble and the poor.
Rescue the poor; and deliver the needy out of the hand of the sinner.
They have not known nor understood: they walk on in darkness: all the foundations of the earth shall be moved.
I have said: You are gods and all of you the sons of the most High.
But you like men shall die: and shall fall like one of the princes.
Arise, O God, judge thou the earth: for thou shalt inherit among all the nations.
