PSALM 82
Common Meter: 8,6,8,6
A Psalm of Asaph.
1In gods' assembly God doth stand;
he judgeth gods among.
2How long, accepting persons vile,
will ye give judgment wrong?
3Defend the poor and fatherless;
to poor oppress'd do right.
4The poor and needy ones set free;
rid them from ill men's might.
5They know not, nor will understand;
in darkness they walk on:
All the foundations of the earth
out of their course are gone.
6I said that ye are gods, and are
sons of the Highest all:
7But ye shall die like men, and as
one of the princes fall.
8O God, do thou raise up thyself,
the earth to judgment call:
For thou, as thine inheritance,
shalt take the nations all.

Psalms 82
82
A Rebuke for Unjust Judges
1A psalm of Asaph. God takes His stand in the assembly of God. He judges among the ‘gods’:
2“How long will you judge unjustly and show partiality to the wicked? Selah
3Give justice to the poor and fatherless. Be just to the afflicted and destitute.
4Rescue the weak and needy. Deliver them out of the hand of the wicked.
5They know nothing; they understand nothing— they walk about in darkness. All of earth’s foundations are shaken.
6I said: ‘You are ‘gods’, and you are all sons of Elyon,
7yet you will die like men, and will fall like any of the princes.’”
8Arise, O God, judge the earth! For You possess all the nations.
