Psalms 82

God Presides in the Great Assembly
1 A Psalm of Asaph.

 God has taken his place in the divine council;
 in the midst of the gods he holds judgment:
2 “How long will you judge unjustly
 and show partiality to the wicked? Selah
3 Give justice to the weak and the fatherless;
 maintain the right of the afflicted and the destitute.
4 Rescue the weak and the needy;
 deliver them from the hand of the wicked.”


5 They have neither knowledge nor understanding,
 they walk about in darkness;
 all the foundations of the earth are shaken.

6 I said, “You are gods,
 sons of the Most High, all of you;
7 nevertheless, like men you shall die,
 and fall like any prince.”


8 Arise, O God, judge the earth;
 for you shall inherit all the nations!
