Psalm 82 – NIRV & OL

New International Reader’s Version

Psalm 82:1-8

Psalm 82

A psalm of Asaph.

1God takes his place at the head of a large gathering of leaders.

He announces his decisions among them.

2He says, “How long will you stand up for those who aren’t fair to others?

How long will you show mercy to sinful people?

3Stand up for the weak and for children whose fathers have died.

Protect the rights of people who are poor or treated badly.

4Save those who are weak and needy.

Save them from the power of sinful people.

5“You leaders don’t know anything.

You don’t understand anything.

You are in the dark about what is right.

Law and order have been destroyed all over the world.

6“I said, ‘You leaders are like gods.

You are all children of the Most High God.’

7But you will die, like mere human beings.

You will die like every other leader.”

8God, rise up. Judge the earth.

All the nations belong to you.

Salmos 82:1-8

Salmo 82

Salmo de Asafe.

1Deus levantou-se na assembleia celeste.

Ele julga os juízes:

2“Até quando continuarão a julgar sem justiça

e a considerar as pessoas segundo as aparências? (Pausa)

3Saiam em defesa dos órfãos e dos pobres;

em favor dos aflitos e necessitados.

4Livrem os miseráveis e os infelizes

das mãos dos homens perversos que os oprimem.

5Eles não sabem nada da justiça divina;

nada percebem e andam como cegos.

Os fundamentos da sociedade estão abalados.

6Eu tenho-vos dito que vocês são deuses,

que são filhos do Deus altíssimo.

7Mas perante a morte vocês são simples humanos;

hão de morrer um dia,

como os grandes da sociedade.”

8Levanta-te, ó Deus, e julga a Terra,

pois todos os povos te pertencem!
