Psalm 82 | New International Version

Psalm 82 | New International Version

A psalm of Asaph.

1 God presides in the great assembly; he renders judgment among the ‘gods’: 2 ‘How long will you* defend the unjust and show partiality to the wicked?* 3 Defend the weak and the fatherless; uphold the cause of the poor and the oppressed. 4 Rescue the weak and the needy; deliver them from the hand of the wicked. 5 ‘The “gods” know nothing, they understand nothing. They walk about in darkness; all the foundations of the earth are shaken. 6 ‘I said, “You are ‘gods’; you are all sons of the Most High.” 7 But you will die like mere mortals; you will fall like every other ruler.’ 8 Rise up, O God, judge the earth, for all the nations are your inheritance.
