Psalm 82

1A Psalm of Asaph.God presides in the divine assembly;He renders judgment among the gods:

2“How long will you judge unjustlyand show partiality to the wicked?Selah
3Defend the cause of the weak and fatherless;uphold the rights of the afflicted and oppressed.
4Rescue the weak and needy;save them from the hand of the wicked.
5They do not know or understand;they wander in the darkness;all the foundations of the earth are shaken.
6I have said, ‘You are gods;you are all sons of the Most High.’
7But like mortals you will die,and like rulers you will fall.”

8Arise, O God, judge the earth,for all the nations are Your inheritance.
