Psalm 82

1 A Psalm of Asaph. <span class=|reftext|><a href=|#|><b>1</b></a> God takes His stand in the congregation of the divine; among the gods he renders judgment:

2 “Until when will you⁺ judge unjustly, and lift [up] the faces of the wicked? Selah

3 Judge for the weak and the fatherless; [for] the oppressed and needy bring justice.

4 Rescue the weak and needy; deliver them from the hand of the wicked.

5 They do not know, ad they do not understand; in the darkness they walk about; all the foundations of the earth are shaken.

6 I said, ‘You⁺ [are] gods, and all of you⁺ sons of the Most High.’

7 Surely like a man you⁺ will die, and like one of the princes you⁺ will fall.”

8 Rise up, O God, [and] judge the earth! For You have an inheritance among all the nations.
