Psalm 82
A Psalm by Asaph.
[82:1] God presides in the great assembly. He judges among the gods. [82:2] "How long will you judge unjustly, and show partiality to the wicked?" Selah. [82:3] "Defend the weak, the poor, and the fatherless. Maintain the rights of the poor and oppressed. [82:4] Rescue the weak and needy. Deliver them out of the hand of the wicked." [82:5] They don't know, neither do they understand. They walk back and forth in darkness. All the foundations of the earth are shaken. [82:6] I said, "You are gods, all of you are sons of the Most High. [82:7] Nevertheless you shall die like men, and fall like one of the rulers." [82:8] Arise, God, judge the earth, for you inherit all of the nations.
