Tehillim (Psa) 82
82
1A psalm of Asaf:
Elohim [God] stands in the divine assembly;
there with the elohim [judges], he judges:
2“How long will you go on judging unfairly,
favoring the wicked? (Selah)
3Give justice to the weak and fatherless!
Uphold the rights of the wretched and poor!
4Rescue the destitute and needy;
deliver them from the power of the wicked!”
5They don’t know, they don’t understand,
they wander about in darkness;
meanwhile, all the foundations of the earth
are being undermined.
6“My decree is: ‘You are elohim [gods, judges],
sons of the Most High all of you.
7Nevertheless, you will die like mortals;
like any prince, you will fall.’”
8Rise up, Elohim, and judge the earth;
for all the nations are yours.

A Plea for Justice
A Psalm of Asaph.
1God #(2 Chr. 19:6; Eccl. 5:8)stands in the congregation of the mighty;
He judges among #Ps. 82:6the gods.
2How long will you judge unjustly,
And #(Deut. 1:17); Prov. 18:5show partiality to the wicked?
Selah
3Defend the poor and fatherless;
Do justice to the afflicted and #(Deut. 24:17; Is. 11:4; Jer. 22:16)needy.
4Deliver the poor and needy;
Free them from the hand of the wicked.
5They do not know, nor do they understand;
They walk about in darkness;
All the #Ps. 11:3foundations of the earth are unstable.
6I said, #John 10:34“You are gods,
And all of you are children of the Most High.
7But you shall die like men,
And fall like one of the princes.”
8Arise, O God, judge the earth;
#Ps. 2:8; (Rev. 11:15)For You shall inherit all nations.
