Psalms 82

¹A psalm of Asaph. God stands in the divine assembly; he administers judgment in the midst of the gods. ²“How long will you judge unjustly and ⌞show favoritism to the wicked⌟? Selah ³Judge on behalf of the helpless and the orphan; provide justice to the afflicted and the poor. ⁴Rescue the helpless and the needy; deliver them from the hand of the wicked.” ⁵They do not know or consider. They go about in the darkness, so that all the foundations of the earth are shaken. ⁶I have said, “You are gods, and sons of the Most High, all of you. ⁷However, you will die like men, and you will fall like one of the princes.” ⁸Rise up, O God, judge the earth, because you shall inherit all the nations.
