Psalm 82
God Presides in the Divine Assembly
A Psalm of Asaph.
¹ God presides in the divine assembly; He renders judgment among the gods:
² “How long will you judge unjustly 1 and show partiality to the wicked? Selah
³ Defend the cause of the weak and fatherless; uphold the rights of the afflicted and oppressed.
⁴ Rescue the weak and needy; save them from the hand of the wicked.
⁵ They do not know or understand; they wander in the darkness; all the foundations of the earth are shaken.
⁶ I have said, ‘You are gods; you are all sons of the Most High.’2
⁷ But like mortals you will die, and like rulers you will fall.”
⁸ Arise, O God, judge the earth, for all the nations are Your inheritance.
