82:1  

  • A Psalm of Asaph. God stands in the congregation of the mighty; He judges among the gods.
  • 82:2  How long will you judge unjustly and respect the persons of the wicked? Selah.

    82:3  Defend the poor and fatherless; do justice to the afflicted and needy.

    82:4  Deliver the poor and needy; save them out of the hand of the wicked.

    82:5  They do not know, neither do they understand; they walk on in darkness; all the foundations of the earth are shaken out of course.

    82:6  I have said, "You are gods; and all of you are sons of the Most High.

    82:7  But you shall die like men, and fall like one of the princes."

    82:8  Arise, O God, judge the earth, for You shall inherit all nations.
