Psalms 82

1 (81-1) <A psalm for Asaph.> God hath stood in the congregation of gods: and being in the midst of them he judgeth gods.

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

2 (81-2) How long will you judge unjustly: and accept the persons of the wicked?

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

3 (81-3) Judge for the needy and fatherless: do justice to the humble and the poor.

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

4 (81-4) Rescue the poor; and deliver the needy out of the hand of the sinner.

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

5 (81-5) They have not known nor understood: they walk on in darkness: all the foundations of the earth shall be moved.

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

6 (81-6) I have said: You are gods and all of you the sons of the most High.

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

7 (81-7) But you like men shall die: and shall fall like one of the princes.

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

8 (81-8) Arise, O God, judge thou the earth: for thou shalt inherit among all the nations.

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