Psalm 82


A Plea for Justice

A Psalm of Asaph.

God astands in the congregation of 1the mighty;
He judges among bthe 2gods.

2
How long will you judge unjustly,
And ashow partiality to the wicked?
Selah

3
1Defend the poor and fatherless;
Do justice to the afflicted and aneedy.

4
Deliver the poor and needy;
Free them from the hand of the wicked.


5
They do not know, nor do they understand;
They walk about in darkness;
All the afoundations of the earth are 1unstable.


6
I said, a“You are 1gods,
And all of you are children of the Most High.

7
But you shall die like men,
And fall like one of the princes.”


8
Arise, O God, judge the earth;
aFor You shall inherit all nations.
