Psalms 82

1. “A Psalm of Asaph.” God stands in the congregation of the mighty; He judges among the gods.
   
2. How long will you judge unjustly, And show partiality to the wicked? Selah
   
3. Defend the poor and fatherless; Do justice to the afflicted and needy.
   
4. Deliver the poor and needy; Free them from the hand of the wicked.
   
5. They do not know, nor do they understand; They walk about in darkness; All the foundations of the earth are unstable.
   
6. I said, “You are gods, And all of you are children of the Most High.
   
7. But you shall die like men, And fall like one of the princes.”
   
8. Arise, O God, judge the earth; For You shall inherit all nations.
