Psalm 82 | English Standard Version

Rescue the Weak and Needy

1 A Psalm of Asaph. God has taken his place in the divine council; in the midst of the gods he holds judgment: 2 “How long will you judge unjustly and show partiality to the wicked? 3 Give justice to the weak and the fatherless; maintain the right of the afflicted and the destitute. 4 Rescue the weak and the needy; deliver them from the hand of the wicked.” 5 They have neither knowledge nor understanding, they walk about in darkness; all the foundations of the earth are shaken. 6 I said, “You are gods, sons of the Most High, all of you; 7 nevertheless, like men you shall die, and fall like any prince.”* 8 Arise, O God, judge the earth; for you shall inherit all the nations!

1 Ein Psalm Asaphs. Gott steht in der Gottesversammlung, inmitten der Mächtigen richtet er: 2 »Wie lange wollt ihr ungerecht richten und die Person des Gottlosen ansehen? (Sela.) 3 Schafft Recht dem Geringen und der Waise, den Elenden und Armen lasst Gerechtigkeit widerfahren! 4 Befreit den Geringen und Bedürftigen, errettet ihn aus der Hand der Gottlosen!« 5 Aber sie erkennen nichts und verstehen nichts, sondern wandeln in der Finsternis; es wanken alle Grundfesten der Erde! 6 »Ich habe gesagt: Ihr seid Götter und allesamt Söhne des Höchsten; 7 dennoch sollt ihr sterben wie ein Mensch und fallen wie einer der Fürsten!« 8 Mache dich auf, o Gott, richte die Erde; denn du bist Erbherr über alle Völker!
