Psalm 82 (New Living Translation)
View In My Bible
1
A psalm of Asaph. God presides over heaven's court; he pronounces judgment on the judges:
2
"How long will you judges hand down unjust decisions? How long will you shower special favors on the wicked? Interlude
3
"Give fair judgment to the poor and the orphan; uphold the rights of the oppressed and the destitute.
4
Rescue the poor and helpless; deliver them from the grasp of evil people.
5
But these oppressors know nothing; they are so ignorant! And because they are in darkness, the whole world is shaken to the core.
6
I say, 'You are gods and children of the Most High.
7
But in death you are mere men. You will fall as any prince, for all must die.'"
8
Rise up, O God, and judge the earth, for all the nations belong to you.
