Psalm 82
A psalm by Asaph.
1God takes his place in his own assembly.
He pronounces judgment among the gods:
2“How long are you going to judge unfairly?
How long are you going to side with wicked people?” Selah
3Defend weak people and orphans.
Protect the rights of the oppressed and the poor.
4Rescue weak and needy people.
Help them escape the power of wicked people.
5Wicked people do not know or understand anything.
As they walk around in the dark,
all the foundations of the earth shake.
6I said, “You are gods.
You are all sons of the Most High.
7You will certainly die like humans
and fall like any prince.”
8Arise, O God!
Judge the earth, because all the nations belong to you.

Psalms 82
82
— A Psalm of Asaph.
1God hath stood in the company of God, In the midst God doth judge.
2Till when do ye judge perversely? And the face of the wicked lift up? Selah.
3Judge ye the weak and fatherless, The afflicted and the poor declare righteous.
4Let the weak and needy escape, From the hand of the wicked deliver them.
5They knew not, nor do they understand, In darkness they walk habitually, Moved are all the foundations of earth.
6I — I have said, ‘Gods ye [are], And sons of the Most High — all of you,
7But as man ye die, and as one of the heads ye fall,
8Rise, O God, judge the earth, For Thou hast inheritance among all the nations!
