- Chapter 82 -

God presides in the divine assembly

1
A psalm for Asaph. God hath stood in the congregation of gods: and being in the midst of them he judgeth gods.
2
How long will you judge unjustly: and accept the persons of the wicked?
3
Judge for the needy and fatherless: do justice to the humble and the poor.
4
Rescue the poor; and deliver the needy out of the hand of the sinner.
5
They have not known nor understood: they walk on in darkness: all the foundations of the earth shall be moved.
6
I have said: You are gods and all of you the sons of the most High.
7
But you like men shall die: and shall fall like one of the princes.
8
Arise, O God, judge thou the earth: for thou shalt inherit among all the nations.

God presides in the divine assembly

1
God presides in the great assembly. He judges among the gods.
2
How long will you judge unjustly, and show partiality to the wicked?” Selah.
3
Defend the weak, the poor, and the fatherless. Maintain the rights of the poor and oppressed.
4
Rescue the weak and needy. Deliver them out of the hand of the wicked.”
5
They don’t know, neither do they understand. They walk back and forth in darkness. All the foundations of the earth are shaken.
6
I said, “You are gods, all of you are sons of the Most High.
7
Nevertheless you shall die like men, and fall like one of the rulers.”
8
Arise, God, judge the earth, for you inherit all of the nations.
