Psalms 82

1 A Psalm of Asaph. God presides in the divine assembly; He renders judgment among the gods:

A psalm of Asaph God [is] taking his stand in [the] congregation of God in [the] midst of [the] gods he gives judgment.

2 “How long will you judge unjustly and show partiality to the wicked?

Until when? will you judge injustice and [the] face of wicked [people] will you lift up (Selah)

3 Defend the cause of the weak and fatherless; uphold the rights of the afflicted and oppressed.

Give judgment for [the] poor and [the] fatherless [the] afflicted and [the] poor vindicate.

4 Rescue the weak and needy; save them from the hand of the wicked.

Deliver [the] poor and [the] needy from [the] hand of wicked [people] rescue [them].

5 They do not know or understand; they wander in the darkness; all the foundations of the earth are shaken.

Not they know - and not they understand in darkness they walk about they are shaken all [the] foundations of [the] earth.

6 I have said, ‘You are gods; you are all sons of the Most High.’

I I said [are] gods you and [are] [the] children of [the] Most High all of you.

7 But like mortals you will die, and like rulers you will fall.”

Nevertheless like humankind you will die! and like one of the princes you will fall.

8 Arise, O God, judge the earth, for all the nations are Your inheritance.

Arise! O God judge! the earth for you you have an inheritance among all the nations.
