Clementine Vulgate (Psalm 81)
Latin text
1 Psalmus Asaph. Deus stetit in synagoga deorum ; in medio autem deos dijudicat.
2 Usquequo judicatis iniquitatem, et facies peccatorum sumitis ?
3 Judicate egeno et pupillo ; humilem et pauperem justificate.
4 Eripite pauperem, et egenum de manu peccatoris liberate.
5 Nescierunt, neque intellexerunt ; in tenebris ambulant : movebuntur omnia fundamenta terræ.
6 Ego dixi : Dii estis, et filii Excelsi omnes.
7 Vos autem sicut homines moriemini, et sicut unus de principibus cadetis.
8 Surge, Deus, judica terram, quoniam tu hæreditabis in omnibus gentibus.
Church of England 1662 Book of Common Prayer
English text
1 God standeth in the congregation of princes : he is a Judge among gods.
2 How long will ye give wrong judgement : and accept the persons of the ungodly?
3 Defend the poor and fatherless : see that such as are in need and necessity have right.
4 Deliver the outcast and poor : save them from the hand of the ungodly.
5 They will not be learned nor understand, but walk on still in darkness : all the foundations of the earth are out of course.
6 I have said, Ye are gods : and ye are all the children of the most Highest.
7 But ye shall die like men : and fall like one of the princes.
8 Arise, O God, and judge thou the earth : for thou shalt take all heathen to thine inheritance.
