82
A psalm of Asaph.
1 God stands in the divine assembly;
in the midst of the gods he renders judgment.
2 How long will you judge unjustly
and show favoritism to the wicked?
Selah
3 Defend the poor and fatherless;
maintain the rights of the afflicted and destitute.
4 Rescue the poor and needy;
take them out of the hand of the wicked.
5 They neither know nor understand;
they wander around in the darkness;
all the foundations of the earth crumble.
6 I said, “You are gods,
and all of you sons of the Most High.
7 Nevertheless you will die like men
and fall like one of the princes.”
8 Arise, God, judge the earth,
for you have an inheritance in all the nations.
