Psalm 82 | King James Version
1A Psalm of Asaph. God standeth in the congregation of the mighty; he judgeth among the gods.2How long will ye judge unjustly, and accept the persons of the wicked? Selah.3Defend the poor and fatherless: do justice to the afflicted and needy.4Deliver the poor and needy: rid them out of the hand of the wicked.5They know not, neither will they understand; they walk on in darkness: all the foundations of the earth are out of course.6I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High.7But ye shall die like men, and fall like one of the princes.8Arise, O God, judge the earth: for thou shalt inherit all nations.
New International Reader’s Version
A psalm of Asaph.
1God takes his place at the head of a large gathering of leaders. He announces his decisions among them.2He says, ‘How long will you stand up for those who aren’t fair to others? How long will you show mercy to sinful people?3Stand up for the weak and for children whose fathers have died. Protect the rights of people who are poor or treated badly.4Save those who are weak and needy. Save them from the power of sinful people.5‘You leaders don’t know anything. You don’t understand anything. You are in the dark about what is right. Law and order have been destroyed all over the world.6‘I said, “You leaders are like gods. You are all children of the Most High God.”7But you will die, like mere human beings. You will die like every other leader.’8God, rise up. Judge the earth. All the nations belong to you.
