Psalms 82

Jewish Publication Society 1917 · Berean Standard Bible

A Psalm of Asaph. God standeth in the congregation of God; in the midst of the judges He judgeth:
A Psalm of Asaph. God presides in the divine assembly; He renders judgment among the gods:
'How long will ye judge unjustly, and respect the persons of the wicked? Selah
“How long will you judge unjustly (note: Or How long will you defend the unjust) and show partiality to the wicked? Selah
Judge the poor and fatherless; do justice to the afflicted and destitute.
Defend the cause of the weak and fatherless; uphold the rights of the afflicted and oppressed.
Rescue the poor and needy; deliver them out of the hand of the wicked.
Rescue the weak and needy; save them from the hand of the wicked.
They know not, neither do they understand; they go about in darkness; all the foundations of the earth are moved.
They do not know or understand; they wander in the darkness; all the foundations of the earth are shaken.
I said: Ye are godlike beings, and all of you sons of the Most High.
I have said, ‘You are gods; you are all sons of the Most High (note: Cited in John 10:34).’
Nevertheless ye shall die like men, and fall like one of the princes.'
But like mortals you will die, and like rulers you will fall.”
Arise, O God, judge the earth; for Thou shalt possess all the nations.
Arise, O God, judge the earth, for all the nations are Your inheritance.
