Psalms 82

1 God takes his place in his own assembly. He pronounces judgment among the gods:

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

2 "How long are you going to judge unfairly? How long are you going to side with wicked people?" Selah

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

3 Defend weak people and orphans. Protect the rights of the oppressed and the poor.

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

4 Rescue weak and needy people. Help them escape the power of wicked people.

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

5 Wicked people do not know or understand anything. As they walk around in the dark, all the foundations of the earth shake.

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

6 I said, "You are gods. You are all sons of the Most High.

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

7 You will certainly die like humans and fall like any prince."

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

8 Arise, O God! Judge the earth, because all the nations belong to you.

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