Psalm 82
A Plea for Justice
A Psalm of Asaph.
1 God has taken his place in the divine council;
in the midst of the gods he holds judgment:(A)
2 “How long will you judge unjustly
and show partiality to the wicked? Selah(B)
3 Give justice to the weak and the orphan;
maintain the right of the lowly and the destitute.(C)
4 Rescue the weak and the needy;
deliver them from the hand of the wicked.”(D)
5 They have neither knowledge nor understanding;
they walk around in darkness;
all the foundations of the earth are shaken.(E)
6 I say, “You are gods,
children of the Most High, all of you;(F)
7 nevertheless, you shall die like mortals
and fall like any prince.”[a](G)
8 Rise up, O God, judge the earth,
for all the nations belong to you!(H)

Psalm 82
A psalm of Asaph.
82 God takes his stand in the divine council;
he gives judgment among the gods:
2 “How long will you judge unjustly
by granting favor to the wicked? Selah
3 Give justice to the lowly and the orphan;
maintain the right of the poor and the destitute!
4 Rescue the lowly and the needy.
Deliver them from the power of the wicked!
5 They don’t know; they don’t understand;
they wander around in the dark.
All the earth’s foundations shake.
6 I hereby declare, “You are gods,
children of the Most High—all of you!
7 But you will die like mortals;
you will fall down like any prince.”
8 Rise up, God! Judge the earth
because you hold all nations in your possession!
