Psalms 82

   |   

One of Asaph's songs of praise.

1 God stands in the assembly of the gods.[a]
    He stands as judge among the judges.
2 He says, "How long will you judge unfairly
    and show special favors to the wicked?" Selah

3 "Defend the poor and orphans.
    Protect the rights of the poor.
4 Help those who are poor and helpless.
    Save them from those who are evil.

5 "They[b] don't know what is happening.
    They don't understand!
They don't know what they are doing.
    Their world is falling down around them!"
6 I, God Most High, say,
    "You are gods,[c] my own sons.
7 But you will die as all people must die.
    Your life will end like that of any ruler."

8 Get up, God! You be the judge!
    You be the leader over all the nations!
