Psalms 82
|
One of Asaph's songs of praise.
1 God stands in the assembly of the gods.[a]
He stands as judge among the judges.
2 He says, "How long will you judge unfairly
and show special favors to the wicked?" Selah
3 "Defend the poor and orphans.
Protect the rights of the poor.
4 Help those who are poor and helpless.
Save them from those who are evil.
5 "They[b] don't know what is happening.
They don't understand!
They don't know what they are doing.
Their world is falling down around them!"
6 I, God Most High, say,
"You are gods,[c] my own sons.
7 But you will die as all people must die.
Your life will end like that of any ruler."
8 Get up, God! You be the judge!
You be the leader over all the nations!
