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.

God Judges the Judges
A song of Asaph.
1God is in charge of the great meeting of his people.
He judges the judges.
2He says, “How long will you defend evil people?
How long will you show greater kindness to the wicked? Selah
3Defend the orphans and the weak.
Defend the rights of the poor and suffering.
4Save the weak and helpless
from the power of the wicked.
5“You know nothing. You don’t understand.
You walk in the dark,
while the world is falling apart.
6I said, ‘You are gods.
You are all sons of the Most High God.’
7But you will die like any other person.
You will die like all the leaders.”
8God, come and judge the earth.
You own all the nations.
