Psalms 82

God Commands Justice

1God stands in the divine assembly;[#Or “assembly of El ”]

he administers judgment in the midst of the gods.

2“How long will you judge unjustly

and show favoritism to the wicked? Selah

3Judge on behalf of the helpless and the orphan;

provide justice to the afflicted and the poor.

4Rescue the helpless and the needy;

deliver them from the hand of the wicked.”

5They do not know or consider.[#Or “understand”]

They go about in the darkness,

so that all the foundations of the earth are shaken.

6I have said, “You are gods,[#Hebrew “I, I have said”]

and sons of the Most High, all of you.

7However, you will die like men,[#Singular]

and you will fall like one of the princes.”

8Rise up, O God, judge the earth,

because you shall inherit all the nations.
