Psalm 82


God Stands in Judgment

A Psalm of Asaph.

God takes His astand in the congregation of 1God;
He bjudges in the midst of 2cgods.

2
How long will you ajudge unrighteously
And bshow partiality to the wicked? 1Selah.

3
aGive justice to the poor and the orphan;
Justify the afflicted and destitute.

4
aProtect the poor and needy;
Deliver them out of the hand of the wicked.


5
They ado not know and do not understand;
They bwalk about in darkness;
All the cfoundations of the earth are shaken.

6
1I asaid, “You are gods,
And all of you are bsons of the Most High.

7
Nevertheless ayou will die like men
And you will fall like any bone of the princes.”

8
aArise, O God, bjudge the earth!
For it is You who cwill inherit all the nations.
