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
Psalm 82
A psalm of Asaph.
1God takes his stand in the divine council;
he gives judgment among the gods:
2“How long will you judge unjustly
by granting favor to the wicked? Selah
3Give justice to the lowly and the orphan;
maintain the right of the poor and the destitute!
4Rescue the lowly and the needy.
Deliver them from the power of the wicked!
5They don’t know; they don’t understand;
they wander around in the dark.
All the earth’s foundations shake.
6I hereby declare, “You are gods,
children of the Most High—all of you!
7But you will die like mortals;
you will fall down like any prince.”
8Rise up, God! Judge the earth
because you hold all nations in your possession!
