Psalm 82
King James Version
Psalm 82
King James Version
82 God standeth in the congregation of the mighty; he judgeth among the gods.
2 How long will ye judge unjustly, and accept the persons of the wicked? Selah.
3 Defend the poor and fatherless: do justice to the afflicted and needy.
4 Deliver the poor and needy: rid them out of the hand of the wicked.
5 They know not, neither will they understand; they walk on in darkness: all the foundations of the earth are out of course.
6 I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High.
7 But ye shall die like men, and fall like one of the princes.
8 Arise, O God, judge the earth: for thou shalt inherit all nations.

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.

82 Canticum Psalmi Asaph.
2 Deus, quis similis erit tibi? ne taceas, neque compescaris, Deus:
3 quoniam ecce inimici tui sonuerunt, et qui oderunt te extulerunt caput.
4 Super populum tuum malignaverunt consilium, et cogitaverunt adversus sanctos tuos.
5 Dixerunt: Venite, et disperdamus eos de gente, et non memoretur nomen Israel ultra.
6 Quoniam cogitaverunt unanimiter; simul adversum te testamentum disposuerunt:
7 tabernacula Idumaeorum et Ismahelitae, Moab et Agareni,
8 Gebal, et Ammon, et Amalec; alienigenae cum habitantibus Tyrum.
9 Etenim Assur venit cum illis: facti sunt in adjutorium filiis Lot.
10 Fac illis sicut Madian et Sisarae, sicut Jabin in torrente Cisson.
11 Disperierunt in Endor; facti sunt ut stercus terrae.
12 Pone principes eorum sicut Oreb, et Zeb, et Zebee, et Salmana: omnes principes eorum,
13 qui dixerunt: Haereditate possideamus sanctuarium Dei.
14 Deus meus, pone illos ut rotam, et sicut stipulam ante faciem venti.
15 Sicut ignis qui comburit silvam, et sicut flamma comburens montes,
16 ita persequeris illos in tempestate tua, et in ira tua turbabis eos.
17 Imple facies eorum ignominia, et quaerent nomen tuum, Domine.
18 Erubescant, et conturbentur in saeculum saeculi, et confundantur, et pereant.
19 Et cognoscant quia nomen tibi Dominus: tu solus Altissimus in omni terra.
