Psalm 82, NEW AMERICAN STANDARD BIBLE
Prior Chapter   |   Next Chapter

1

God takes His stand in His own congregation;
He judges in the midst of the rulers.
 

2

How long will you judge unjustly
And show partiality to the wicked?  Selah.
 

3

Vindicate the weak and fatherless;
Do justice to the afflicted and destitute.
 

4

Rescue the weak and needy;
Deliver them out of the hand of the wicked.
 

5

They do not know nor do they understand;
They walk about in darkness;
All the foundations of the earth are shaken.
 

6

I said, “You are gods,
And all of you are sons of the Most High.
 

7

“Nevertheless you will die like men
And fall like any one of the princes.”
 

8

Arise, O God, judge the earth!
For it is You who possesses all the nations.
