Psalms 82

Rescue the Weak and Needy
A Psalm of (a)Asaph.
1 (b)God (c)has taken his place in the divine council;
in the midst of (d)the gods he (e)holds judgment:
2 "How long will you judge unjustly
and (f)show partiality to (g)the wicked? Selah
3 (h)Give justice to (i)the weak and the fatherless;
(j)maintain the right of the afflicted and the destitute.
4 (k)Rescue the weak and the needy;
(l)deliver them from the hand of the wicked."
5 (m)They have neither knowledge nor understanding,
(n)they walk about in darkness;
(o)all the foundations of the earth are (p)shaken.
6 (q)I said, "You are gods,
sons of the Most High, all of you;
7 nevertheless, like men (r)you shall die,
and fall like any prince."[a]
8 (s)Arise, O God, judge the earth;
for you shall (t)inherit all the nations!
