| 1 | A psalm for Asaph. God hath stood in the congregation of gods: and being in the midst of them he judgeth gods. | Psalmus Asaph. Deus stetit in synagoga deorum; in medio autem deos diiudicat. | Ψαλμὸς τῷ Ἀσάφ. Ὁ Θεὸς ἔστη ἐν συναγωγῇ θεῶν, ἐν μέσῳ δὲ θεοὺς διακρινεῖ. |
| 2 | How long will you judge unjustly: and accept the persons of the wicked? | Usquequo iudicatis iniquitatem, et facies peccatorum sumitis? | Ἕως πότε κρίνετε ἀδικίαν, καὶ πρόσωπα ἁμαρτωλῶν λαμβάνετε; διάψαλμα. |
| 3 | Judge for the needy and fatherless: do justice to the humble and the poor. | Iudicate egeno et pupillo; humilem et pauperem iustificate. | Κρίνατε ὀρφανὸν καὶ πτωχὸν, ταπεινὸν καὶ πένητα δικαιώσατε. |
| 4 | Rescue the poor; and deliver the needy out of the hand of the sinner. | Eripite pauperem, et egenum de manu peccatoris liberate. | Εξέλεσθε πένητα, καὶ πτωχὸν ἐκ χειρὸς ἁμαρτωλοῦ ῥύσασθε. |
| 5 | 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 terrae. | Οὐκ ἔγνωσαν οὐδὲ συνῆκαν, ἐν σκότει διαπορεύονται· σαλευθήσονται πάντα τὰ θεμελια τῆς γῆς. |
| 6 | 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. |
| 7 | 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 ἀποθνήσκετε, καὶ ὡς εἷς τῶν ἀρχόντων πίπτετε. |
| 8 | Arise, O God, judge thou the earth: for thou shalt inherit among all the nations. | Surge, Deus, iudica terram, quoniam tu haereditabis in omnibus gentibus. | Ἀνάστα ὁ Θεὸς, κρῖνον τὴν γῆν, ὅτι σὺ κατακληρονομήσεις ἐν πᾶσι τοῖς ἔθνεσιν. |
