Psalms 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.
