Psalms 82:1 A Psalm of Asaph. God has taken his place in the divine council; in the midst of the gods he holds judgment:
Psalms 82:2 "How long will you judge unjustly and show partiality to the wicked? [Selah]
Psalms 82:3 Give justice to the weak and the fatherless; maintain the right of the afflicted and the destitute.
Psalms 82:4 Rescue the weak and the needy; deliver them from the hand of the wicked."
Psalms 82:5 They have neither knowledge nor understanding, they walk about in darkness; all the foundations of the earth are shaken.
Psalms 82:6 I say, "You are gods, sons of the Most High, all of you;
Psalms 82:7 nevertheless, you shall die like men, and fall like any prince."
Psalms 82:8 Arise, O God, judge the earth; for to thee belong all the nations!
