Psalms 82
Psalm 82
A psalm of Asaph.
1 God has taken his standin the divine assembly:
in the midst of the gods he holds judgment.
2“How long will you crookedly judge,
and favour the wicked? (Selah)
3Do right by the weak and the orphan,
acquit the innocent poor.
4Rescue the weak and the needy,
save them from the hand of the wicked.
5They have neither knowledge nor insight,
in darkness they walk to and fro,
while the earth’s foundations totter.
6It was I who appointed you gods,
children of the Most High all of you.
7Yet like mortals you shall surely die,
you shall fall like any prince.”
8Arise, O God, judge the earth,
for all nations are yours by inheritance.
