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)
