Psalms 82:1-7

Rescue the Weak and Needy

A Psalm of ^aAsaph.

1 ^bGod ^chas taken his place in the divine council;
in the midst of ^dthe gods he ^eholds judgment:
2 “How long will you judge unjustly
and ^fshow partiality to ^gthe wicked? Selah
3 ^hGive justice to ⁱthe weak and the fatherless;
^jmaintain the right of the afflicted and the destitute.
4 ^kRescue the weak and the needy;
^ldeliver them from the hand of the wicked.”
5 ^mThey have neither knowledge nor understanding,
ⁿthey walk about in darkness;
^oall the foundations of the earth are ^pshaken.
6 ^qI said, “You are gods,
sons of the Most High, all of you;
7 nevertheless, like men ^ryou shall die,
and fall like any prince.” ^{▼▼Or fall as one man, O princes}

8 But as for me, ^ajI am filled with power,
with the Spirit of the Lord,

and to Israel his sin.

and rulers of the house of Israel,
^amwho detest justice
and make crooked all that is straight,
