Psalms - Chapter 82 | English Standard Version

  • 1. A Psalm of Asaph. God has taken his place in the divine council; in the midst of the gods he holds judgment:
  • 2. "How long will you judge unjustly and show partiality to the wicked? Selah.
  • 3. Give justice to the weak and the fatherless; maintain the right of the afflicted and the destitute.
  • 4. Rescue the weak and the needy; deliver them from the hand of the wicked."
  • 5. They have neither knowledge nor understanding, they walk about in darkness; all the foundations of the earth are shaken.
  • 6. I said, "You are gods, sons of the Most High, all of you;
  • 7. nevertheless, like men you shall die, and fall like any prince."
  • 8. Arise, O God, judge the earth; for you shall inherit all the nations!
