New Century Version

Psalms 82

A Cry for Justice

A psalm of Asaph.

1 God is in charge of the great meeting;
    he judges among the "gods."
2 He says, "How long will you defend evil people?
    How long will you show greater kindness to the wicked? Selah
3 Defend the weak and the orphans;
    defend the rights of the poor and suffering.
4 Save the weak and helpless;
    free them from the power of the wicked.

5 "You know nothing. You don't understand.
You walk in the dark,
    while the world is falling apart.
6 I said, ‘You are "gods."
    You are all sons of God Most High.'
7 But you will die like any other person;
    you will fall like all the leaders."

8 God, come and judge the earth,
    because you own all the nations.
