1Onyankopɔn di hene wɔ ɔsoro asafo mu;
obu atɛn wɔ “anyame” mu.
2“Wobɛbɔ wɔn a wɔnteɛ ho ban
na woayɛ nhwɛanim ama amumɔyɛfo akosi da bɛn?
3Monka mmɔborɔfo ne ayisaa asɛm mma wɔn;
mommɔ ahiafo ne wɔn a wɔhyɛ wɔn so yiyedi ho ban.
4Munnye ɔbrɛfo ne ahiafo;
munnye wɔn mfi amumɔyɛfo nsam.
5“Anyame no nnim de, na wɔnte hwee ase.
Wokyinkyin wɔ sum mu;
na asase fapem nyinaa wosow.
6“Mekae se, ‘Moyɛ “anyame;”
mo nyinaa yɛ Ɔsorosoroni no mma.’
7Nanso mubewuwu sɛ nnipa pɛ;
na moahwe ase sɛ ɔsodifo biara.”
8Ao Onyankopɔn, sɔre, bu wiase atɛn;

A Psalm of Asaph.
1God standeth in the congregation of the mighty; he judgeth among the gods.82.1 of Asaph: or, for Asaph
2How long will ye judge unjustly, and accept the persons of the wicked? Selah.
3Defend the poor and fatherless: do justice to the afflicted and needy.82.3 Defend: Heb. Judge
4Deliver the poor and needy: rid them out of the hand of the wicked.
5They know not, neither will they understand; they walk on in darkness: all the foundations of the earth are out of course.82.5 out…: Heb. moved
6I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High.
7But ye shall die like men, and fall like one of the princes.
8Arise, O God, judge the earth: for thou shalt inherit all nations.
