Psalms 82

1 -- A Psalm of Asaph. God hath stood in the company of God, In the midst God doth judge.

1 God presides in the great assembly; he renders judgment among the “gods”:

2 Till when do ye judge perversely? And the face of the wicked lift up? Selah.

2 “How long will you defend the unjust and show partiality to the wicked?

3 Judge ye the weak and fatherless, The afflicted and the poor declare righteous.

3 Defend the weak and the fatherless; uphold the cause of the poor and the oppressed.

4 Let the weak and needy escape, From the hand of the wicked deliver them.

4 Rescue the weak and the needy; deliver them from the hand of the wicked.

5 They knew not, nor do they understand, In darkness they walk habitually, Moved are all the foundations of earth.

5 “The ‘gods’ know nothing, they understand nothing. They walk about in darkness; all the foundations of the earth are shaken.

6 I -- I have said, `Gods ye [are], And sons of the Most High -- all of you,

6 “I said, ‘You are “gods”; you are all sons of the Most High.’

7 But as man ye die, and as one of the heads ye fall,

7 But you will die like mere mortals; you will fall like every other ruler.”

8 Rise, O God, judge the earth, For Thou hast inheritance among all the nations!

8 Rise up, O God, judge the earth, for all the nations are your inheritance.
