Psalm 82

By Asaph

God presides over the heavenly assembly
And among the divine beings renders judgment.

“How long will you judge unjustly
And show favor to the wicked? —
Defend the weak and the fatherless;
Uphold the rights of the destitute,
The afflicted and the oppressed.
Rescue the poor and the needy;
Save them from the hands of the wicked.”

They know nothing, nor do they understand;
 Ever do they wander about in darkness.
All the foundations of the earth are shaken.

I told them, “All of you are gods,
Sons of the Most High, all of you.
But like mere mortals will you die
And fall like any other ruler.

Arise, O God, judge of the earth,
For you possess all the nations!
