Psalm 82

Psalm 82

A Psalm of Asaph.

¹God ^astands in the congregation of ¹the mighty;

He judges among ^bthe ²gods.

²How long will you judge unjustly,

And ^cshow partiality to the wicked?

Selah

³³Defend the poor and fatherless;

Do justice to the afflicted and ^dneedy.

⁴Deliver the poor and needy;

Free them from the hand of the wicked.

⁵They do not know, nor do they understand;

They walk about in darkness;

All the ^efoundations of the earth are ⁴unstable.

⁶I said, ^f“You are ⁵gods,

And all of you are children of the Most High.

⁷But you shall die like men,

And fall like one of the princes.”

⁸Arise, O God, judge the earth;

^gFor You shall inherit all nations.
