< 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.
GOD standeth in the congregation of the mighty; he judgeth among the gods.
2 Until when? will you judge injustice and [the] face of wicked [people] will you lift up (Selah)
How long will ye judge unjustly, and accept the persons of the wicked? (Selah)
3 Give judgment for [the] poor and [the] fatherless [the] afflicted and [the] poor vindicate.
Defend the poor and fatherless: do justice to the afflicted and needy.
4 Deliver [the] poor and [the] needy from [the] hand of wicked [people] rescue [them].
Deliver the poor and needy: rid 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 know not, neither will they understand; they walk on in darkness: all the foundations of the earth are out of course.
6 I I said [are] gods you and [are] [the] children of [the] Most High all of you.
I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High.
7 Nevertheless like humankind you will die! and like one of the princes you will fall.
But ye shall die like men, and fall like one of the princes.
8 Arise! O God judge! the earth for you you have an inheritance among all the nations.
Arise, O God, judge the earth: for thou shalt inherit all nations.
