They do not know, nor do they understand;
They walk about in darkness;
All the (A)foundations of the earth are [a]unstable.

I said, (B)“You are [b]gods,
And all of you are children of the Most High.
But you shall die like men,
And fall like one of the princes.”

  1. Psalm 82:5 moved
  2. Psalm 82:6 Judges; Heb. elohim, lit. mighty ones or gods

They don’t know; they don’t understand;
    they wander around in the dark.
    All the earth’s foundations shake.

    I hereby declare, “You are gods,
    children of the Most High—all of you!
But you will die like mortals;
    you will fall down like any prince.”
