Psalm 82

Tree of Life Version

¹ A psalm of Asaph.
God takes His stand in the assembly of God.
He judges among the ‘gods’:
² “How long will you judge unjustly
and show partiality to the wicked? Selah
³ Give justice to the poor and fatherless.
Be just to the afflicted and destitute.
⁴ Rescue the weak and needy.
Deliver them out of the hand of the wicked.
⁵ They know nothing;
they understand nothing—
they walk about in darkness.
All of earth’s foundations are shaken.
⁶ I said: ‘You are ‘gods’,
and you are all sons of Elyon,^[a]
7 yet you will die like men,
and will fall like any of the princes.’”
