Psalms 82

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

A Psalm by Asaph. God presides in the great assembly. He judges among the gods.

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

“How long will you judge unjustly, and show partiality to the wicked?” (Selah)

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

“Defend the weak, the poor, and the fatherless. Maintain the rights of the poor and oppressed.

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

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

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

They do not know, neither do they understand. They walk back and forth in darkness. All the foundations of the earth are shaken.

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

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

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

Nevertheless you shall die like men, and fall like one of the rulers.”

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

Arise, God, judge the earth, for you inherit all of the nations.
