| 82:1 | A Plea for JusticeA Psalm of Asaph. God stands in the congregation of the mighty; He judges among the gods. |
| 82:2 | How long will you judge unjustly, And show partiality to the wicked?Selah |
| 82:3 | Defend the poor and fatherless; Do justice to the afflicted and needy. |
| 82:4 | Deliver the poor and needy; Free them from the hand of the wicked. |
| 82:5 | They do not know, nor do they understand; They walk about in darkness; All the foundations of the earth are unstable. |
| 82:6 | I said, "You are gods, And all of you are children of the Most High. |
| 82:7 | But you shall die like men, And fall like one of the princes." |
| 82:8 | Arise, O God, judge the earth; For You shall inherit all nations. |
