Psalm 82
A Psalm by Asaph.
1 God presides
in the great
assembly.
He judges among
the gods.
2 “How
long will you
judge unjustly,
and show
partiality to the
wicked?”
Selah.
3 “Defend
the weak, the
poor, and the
fatherless.
Maintain the rights
of the poor
and oppressed.
4 Rescue
the weak and
needy.
Deliver them out
of the hand
of the wicked.”
5 They don’t
know, neither do
they understand.
They walk back
and forth in
darkness.
All the
foundations of
the earth are
shaken.
6 I said, “You
are gods,
all of you
are sons of
the Most High.
7 Nevertheless you
shall die like
men,
and fall like one
of the rulers.”
8 Arise, God,
judge the earth,
for you inherit
all of the
nations.
