Psalm 82

New Living Translation NLT

1 God presides over heaven’s court; he pronounces judgment on the heavenly beings:

2 “How long will you hand down unjust decisions by favoring the wicked? Interlude

3 “Give justice 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! They wander about in darkness, while the whole world is shaken to the core.

6 I say, ‘You are gods; you are all children of the Most High.

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

8 Rise up, O God, and judge the earth, for all the nations belong to you.

Common English Bible CEB

1 God takes his stand in the divine council; he gives judgment among the gods:

2 "How long will you judge unjustly by granting favor to the wicked? Selah

3 Give justice to the lowly and the orphan; maintain the right of the poor and the destitute!

4 Rescue the lowly and the needy. Deliver them from the power of the wicked!

5 They don't know; they don't understand; they wander around in the dark. All the earth's foundations shake.

6 I hereby declare, "You are gods, children of the Most High—all of you!

7 But you will die like mortals; you will fall down like any prince."

8 Rise up, God! Judge the earth because you hold all nations in your possession!
