82:1 A Psalm of Asaph. God has taken his place in the divine council;in the midst of the gods he holds judgment: 82:2 'How long will you judge unjustly and show partiality to the wicked? [Selah] 82:3 Give justice to the weak and the fatherless;maintain the right of the afflicted and the destitute. 82:4 Rescue the weak and the needy;deliver them from the hand of the wicked.' 82:5 They have neither knowledge nor understanding, they walk about in darkness;all the foundations of the earth are shaken. 82:6 I say, 'You are gods, sons of the Most High, all of you; 82:7 nevertheless, you shall die like men, and fall like any prince.' 82:8 Arise, O God, judge the earth;for to thee belong all the nations!
