Psalms 82
1 A psalm of Asaph. God stands in the assembly of God; among the gods he judges.
2 “How long will you judge unjustly and show favor to the wicked? Selah.
3 Uphold the cause of the weak and the orphan; do justice to the afflicted and the poor.
4 Rescue the weak and the needy; deliver them from the hand of the wicked.
5 They neither know nor understand; they walk in darkness. All the foundations of the earth are shaken.
6 I said, ‘You are gods, all of you are children of the Most High.’
7 But you will die like any human being and fall like one of the princes.”
8 Rise up, O God, judge the earth, for you will inherit all the nations.
