Psalm 82 (Complete Jewish Bible)
View In My Bible
1
A psalm of Asaf: Elohim [God] stands in the divine assembly; there with the elohim [judges], he judges:
2
"How long will you go on judging unfairly, favoring the wicked? (Selah)
3
Give justice to the weak and fatherless! Uphold the rights of the wretched and poor!
4
Rescue the destitute and needy; deliver them from the power of the wicked!"
5
They don't know, they don't understand, they wander about in darkness; meanwhile, all the foundations of the earth are being undermined.
6
"My decree is: 'You are elohim [gods, judges], sons of the Most High all of you.
7
Nevertheless, you will die like mortals; like any prince, you will fall.'"
8
Rise up, Elohim, and judge the earth; for all the nations are yours.
