A Psalm of Asaph
Psa. 82:1 God stands in the congregation of God; / He judges in the midst of the gods.
Psa. 82:2 How long will you judge unjustly / And respect the persons of the wicked? Selah
Psa. 82:3 Judge the poor and the orphan; / Execute justice for the afflicted and the destitute;
Psa. 82:4 Rescue the poor and the needy; / Deliver them from the hand of the wicked.
Psa. 82:5 You do not know, nor do you understand; / You go about in darkness; / All the foundations of the earth are shaken.
Psa. 82:6 I said, You are gods, / And all of you are sons of the Most High.
Psa. 82:7 Nevertheless you will die like men / And fall like one of the princes.
Psa. 82:8 Arise, O God; judge the earth; / For You will inherit all the nations.
