Psalm 82
New American Standard Bible

Unjust Judgments Rebuked.

A Psalm of Asaph.

82 God takes His (A)position in [a]His assembly;
He (B)judges in the midst of the (C)gods.
2 How long will you (D)judge unjustly
And (E)show partiality to the wicked? Selah
3 (F)Vindicate the weak and fatherless;
Do justice to the afflicted and destitute.
4 (G)Rescue the weak and needy;
Save them from the hand of the wicked.

5 They (H)do not know nor do they understand;
They (I)walk around in darkness;
All the (J)foundations of the earth are shaken.
6 [b]I (K)said, “You are gods,
And all of you are (L)sons of the Most High.
7 Nevertheless (M)you will die like men,
And fall like (N)one of the princes.”
8 (O)Arise, God, (P)judge the earth!
For You (Q)possess all the nations.

Psalm 82
English Standard Version

Rescue the Weak and Needy

A Psalm of (A)Asaph.

82 (B)God (C)has taken his place in the divine council;
    in the midst of (D)the gods he (E)holds judgment:
2 “How long will you judge unjustly
    and (F)show partiality to (G)the wicked? Selah
3 (H)Give justice to (I)the weak and the fatherless;
    (J)maintain the right of the afflicted and the destitute.
4 (K)Rescue the weak and the needy;
    (L)deliver them from the hand of the wicked.”

5 (M)They have neither knowledge nor understanding,
    (N)they walk about in darkness;
    (O)all the foundations of the earth are (P)shaken.

6 (Q)I said, “You are gods,
    sons of the Most High, all of you;
7 nevertheless, like men (R)you shall die,
    and fall like any prince.”[a]

8 (S)Arise, O God, judge the earth;
    for you shall (T)inherit all the nations!
