Psalms 82

Psalm 82

A psalm of Asaph.

1 God stands in the assembly of El;
in the midst of the gods he renders judgment.
2 He says, "How long will you make unjust legal decisions
and show favoritism to the wicked? (Selah)
3 Defend the cause of the poor and the fatherless!
Vindicate the oppressed and suffering!
4 Rescue the poor and needy!
Deliver them from the power of the wicked!
5 They neither know nor understand.
They stumble around in the dark,
while all the foundations of the earth crumble.
6 I thought, ‘You are gods;
all of you are sons of the Most High.'
7 Yet you will die like mortals;
you will fall like all the other rulers."
8 Rise up, O God, and execute judgment on the earth!
For you own all the nations.
