Psalm 82

A Plea for Righteous Judgment

A psalm of * Asaph. w

God has taken His place in the divine assembly;

He judges among the gods: x y

“How long will you judge unjustly

and show partiality to the wicked? z * Selah

Provide justice for the needy and the fatherless;

uphold the rights of the oppressed and the destitute. a

Rescue the poor and needy;

save them from the power of the wicked.” b

They do not know or understand;

they wander in darkness. c

All the foundations of the earth are shaken. d

I said, “You are gods; e

you are all sons of the * Most High. f

However, you will die like men

and fall like any other ruler.” g

Rise up, God, judge the earth,

for all the nations belong to You. h
