¹(En Salme af Asaf.) Gud står frem i Guders Forsamling midt iblandt Guder holder han Dom

¹— A Psalm of Asaph. God hath stood in the company of God, In the midst God doth judge.

²"Hvor længe vil I dømme uredeligt og holde med de gudløse? - Sela.

²Till when do ye judge perversely? And the face of the wicked lift up? Selah.

³Skaf de ringe og faderløse Ret, kend de arme og nødstedte fri;

³Judge ye the weak and fatherless, The afflicted and the poor declare righteous.

⁴red de ringe og fattige, fri dem ud af de gudløses Hånd!

⁴Let the weak and needy escape, From the hand of the wicked deliver them.

⁵Dog, de kender intet, sanser intet, i Mørke vandrer de om, alle Jordens Grundvolde vakler.

⁵They knew not, nor do they understand, In darkness they walk habitually, Moved are all the foundations of earth.

⁶Jeg har sagt, at I er Guder, I er alle den Højestes Sønner;

⁶I — I have said, `Gods ye [are], And sons of the Most High — all of you,

⁷dog skal I dø som Mennesker, styrte som en af Fyrsterne!"

⁷But as man ye die, and as one of the heads ye fall,

⁸Rejs dig, o Gud, døm Jorden, thi alle Folkene får du til Arv!

⁸Rise, O God, judge the earth, For Thou hast inheritance among all the nations!
