PSALMS - Chapter 82

¹ God takes His stand in His own congregation; He judges in the midst of the rulers.

²

How long will you judge unjustly And show partiality to the wicked? Selah.

³

Vindicate the weak and fatherless; Do justice to the afflicted and destitute.

⁴

Rescue the weak and needy; Deliver them out of the hand of the wicked.

⁵

They do not know nor do they understand; They walk about in darkness; All the foundations of the earth are shaken.

⁶

I said, “You are gods, And all of you are sons of the Most High.

⁷

-“Nevertheless you will die like men And fall like any one of the princes.”

⁸

Arise, O God, judge the earth! For it is You who possesses all the nations.
