Psalm 82:1-8
A melody of Aʹsaph.+
82 God takes his place in the divine assembly;*+In the middle of the gods* he judges:+
2 “How long will you continue to judge with injustice+And show partiality to the wicked?+ (Selah)
3 Defend* the lowly and the fatherless.+
Render justice to the helpless and destitute.+
4 Rescue the lowly and the poor;Save them out of the hand of the wicked.”
5 They do not know, nor do they understand;+They are walking about in darkness;All the foundations of the earth are being shaken.+
6 “I have said, ‘You are gods,*+All of you are sons of the Most High.
7 But you will die just as men do;+And like any other prince you will fall!’”+
8 Rise up, O God, and judge the earth,+For all the nations belong to you.
