Psalm 82:1-5

New American Standard Bible 1995

Unjust Judgments Rebuked.

A Psalm of Asaph.

82 God takes His ^(A)stand in ^[a]His own congregation;
He ^(B)judges in the midst of the ^[b]^(C)rulers.
²How long will you ^(D)judge unjustly
And ^(E)show partiality to the wicked? ^[c]Selah.
³^(F)Vindicate the weak and fatherless;
Do justice to the afflicted and destitute.
⁴^(G)Rescue the weak and needy;
Deliver them out of the hand of the wicked.

⁵They ^(H)do not know nor do they understand;
They ^(I)walk about in darkness;
All the ^(J)foundations of the earth are shaken.
