Psalms 82

Revised Standard Version RSV

1 A Psalm of Asaph. God has taken his place in the divine council; in the midst of the gods he holds judgment:

2 "How long will you judge unjustly and show partiality to the wicked? [Selah]

3 Give justice to the weak and the fatherless; maintain the right of the afflicted and the destitute.

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

5 They have neither knowledge nor understanding, they walk about in darkness; all the foundations of the earth are shaken.

6 I say, "You are gods, sons of the Most High, all of you;

7 nevertheless, you shall die like men, and fall like any prince."

8 Arise, O God, judge the earth; for to thee belong all the nations!

3 Defend the rights of the poor and the orphans; be fair to the needy and the helpless.

4 Rescue them from the power of evil people.

5 "How ignorant you are! How stupid! You are completely corrupt, and justice has disappeared from the world.

6 "You are gods,' I said; "all of you are children of the Most High.'

7 But you will die like mortals; your life will end like that of any prince."

8 Come, O God, and rule the world; all the nations are yours.
