Psalm
Psalm, 82
A melody of Aʹsaph.
1 God takes his place in the divine assembly;*1 In the middle of the gods*2 he judges:
|
2 “How long will you continue to judge with injustice And show partiality to the wicked? (Selah)
3 Defend*1 the lowly and the fatherless. Render justice to the helpless and destitute.
|
4 Rescue the lowly and the poor; Save them out of the hand of the wicked.”
5 They do not know, nor do they understand; They are walking about in darkness; All the foundations of the earth are being shaken.
6 “I have said, ‘You are gods,*1 All of you are sons of the Most High.
|
7 But you will die just as men do; And like any other prince you will fall!’”
8 Rise up, O God, and judge the earth, For all the nations belong to you.
