Psalms 82

1 A PSALM OF ASAPH. God has stood in the congregation of God, He judges 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 Until when do you judge perversely? And lift up the face of the wicked? (Selah)

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

3 Judge the weak and fatherless, Declare the afflicted and the poor righteous.

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

4 Let the weak and needy escape, Deliver them from the hand of the wicked.

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

5 They did not know, nor do they understand, They habitually walk in darkness, All the foundations of earth are moved.

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, And sons of the Most High—all of you,

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

7 But you die as man, and you fall as one of the heads.”

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

8 Rise, O God, judge the earth, For You have inheritance among all the nations!

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