Psalm 82

A Plea for Righteous Judgment

A psalm of Asaph.(a)

1 God has taken His place in the divine assembly;
He judges among the gods:[a](b)
2 "How long will you judge unjustly
and show partiality to the wicked?(c)Selah
3 Provide justice for the needy and the fatherless;
uphold the rights of the oppressed and the destitute.(d)
4 Rescue the poor and needy;
save them from the power of the wicked."(e)

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

6 I said, "You are gods;(h)
you are all sons of the Most High.(i)
7 However, you will die like men
and fall like any other ruler."(j)

8 Rise up, God, judge the earth,
for all the nations belong to You.(k)
