Psalms 82 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

Unjust Judgments Rebuked.

A Psalm of Asaph.

1. God takes His stand in His own congregation; He judges in the midst of the rulers.

2. How long will you judge unjustly And show partiality to the wicked? Selah.

3. Vindicate the weak and fatherless; Do justice to the afflicted and destitute.

4. Rescue the weak and needy; Deliver them out of 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 shaken.

6. I said, "You are gods, And all of you are sons of the Most High.

7. "Nevertheless you will die like men And fall like any one of the princes."

8. Arise, O God, judge the earth! For it is You who possesses all the nations.
