Psalm 82
God Stands in Judgment
82A Psalm of Asaph.
God takes His astand in the congregation of 1God;He bjudges in the midst of 2,cgods.2How long will you ajudge unrighteouslyAnd bshow partiality to the wicked? 1 Selah.3aGive justice to the poor and the orphan;Justify the afflicted and destitute.4aProtect the poor and needy;Deliver them out of the hand of the wicked.5They ado not know and do not understand;They bwalk about in darkness;All the cfoundations of the earth are shaken.61I asaid, “You are gods,And all of you are bsons of the Most High.7“Nevertheless ayou will die like menAnd you will fall like any bone of the princes.”8aArise, O God, bjudge the earth!For it is You who cwill inherit all the nations.
