PSALM Eighty Two

A psalm of Asaph.

1 

God presides in the great assembly;

    he renders judgment among the ‘gods’:

2 

‘How long will you defend the unjust

    and show partiality to the wicked?

3 

Defend the weak and the fatherless;

    uphold the cause of the poor 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.

    They walk about in darkness;

    all the foundations of the earth are shaken.

6 

‘I said, “You are ‘gods’;

    you are all sons of the Most High.”

7 

But you will die like mere mortals;

    you will fall like every other ruler.’

8 

Rise up, O God, judge the earth,

    for all the nations are your inheritance.
