Psalms

82

Christian Standard Bible

1 A psalm of Asaph. God stands in the divine assembly; he pronounces judgment among the gods:

2 “How long will you judge unjustly and show partiality to the wicked? Selah

3 Provide justice for the needy and the fatherless; uphold the rights of the oppressed and the destitute.

4 Rescue the poor and needy; save them from the power of the wicked.”

5 They do not know or understand; they wander in darkness. All the foundations of the earth are shaken.

6 I said, “You are gods; you are all sons of the Most High.

7 However, you will die like humans and fall like any other ruler.”

8 Rise up, God, judge the earth, for all the nations belong to you.
