Psalms 82

Unjust judgments rebuked.

A Psalm of Asaph.

¹A Psalm of Asaph.

²God has taken his place in the divine council; in the midst of the gods he holds judgment:

³"How long will you judge unjustly and show partiality to the wicked? [Selah]

⁴Give justice to the weak and the fatherless; maintain the right of the afflicted and the destitute.

⁵Rescue the weak and the needy; deliver them from the hand of the wicked."

⁶They have neither knowledge nor understanding, they walk about in darkness; all the foundations of the earth are shaken.

⁷I say, "You are gods, sons of the Most High, all of you;

⁸nevertheless, you shall die like men, and fall like any prince." [ (Psalms 82:9) Arise, O God, judge the earth; for to thee belong all the nations! ]
