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 of Asaph.” God standeth in God's assembly, He judgeth in the midst of 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 favor the cause of the wicked? (Pause)

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

Defend the poor and the fatherless; Do justice to the wretched and the needy!

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

Deliver the poor and the destitute; Save them from 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 are without knowledge and without understanding; They walk in darkness: Therefore all the foundations of the land are shaken.

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 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 the rest 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 all the nations are thy possession.
