Psalm 82

A psalm of Asaph.

1 God presides in the great assembly;
    he renders judgment(a) among the "gods":(b)

2 "How long will you[a] defend the unjust
    and show partiality(c) to the wicked?[b](d)
3 Defend the weak and the fatherless;(e)
    uphold the cause of the poor(f) and the oppressed.
4 Rescue the weak and the needy;
    deliver them from the hand of the wicked.

5 "The ‘gods' know nothing, they understand nothing.(g)
    They walk about in darkness;(h)
    all the foundations(i) of the earth are shaken.

6 "I said, ‘You are "gods";(j)
    you are all sons of the Most High.'
7 But you will die(k) like mere mortals;
    you will fall like every other ruler."

8 Rise up,(l) O God, judge(m) the earth,
    for all the nations are your inheritance.(n)
