Psalms 82

   |   

Unjust Judgments Rebuked.

A Psalm of Asaph.

1 God takes His (a)stand in [a]His own congregation;
He (b)judges in the midst of the [b](c)rulers.
2 How long will you (d)judge unjustly
And (e)show partiality to the wicked? [c]Selah.
3 (f)Vindicate the weak and fatherless;
Do justice to the afflicted and destitute.
4 (g)Rescue the weak and needy;
Deliver them out of the hand of the wicked.

5 They (h)do not know nor do they understand;
They (i)walk about in darkness;
All the (j)foundations of the earth are shaken.
6 [d]I (k)said, "You are gods,
And all of you are (l)sons of the Most High.
7 "Nevertheless (m)you will die like men
And fall like any (n)one of the princes."
8 (o)Arise, O God, (p)judge the earth!
For it is You who (q)possesses all the nations.
