Psalm 82

PSALM 82

Unjust Judgments Rebuked.

A Psalm of Asaph.

¹God takes His ^astand in ¹His own congregation;

He ^bjudges in the midst of the ^2crulers.

²How long will you ^ajudge unjustly

And ^bshow partiality to the wicked?

¹Selah.

^3aVindicate the weak and fatherless;

Do justice to the afflicted and destitute.

^4aRescue the weak and needy;

Deliver them out of the hand of the wicked.

⁵They ^ado not know nor do they understand;

They ^bwalk about in darkness;

All the ^cfoundations of the earth are shaken.

⁶¹I ^asaid, “You are gods,

And all of you are ^bsons of the Most High.

⁷“Nevertheless ^ayou will die like men

And fall like any ^bone of the princes.”

^8aArise, O God, ^bjudge the earth!

For it is You who ^cpossesses all the nations.
