Psalms
Chapter 82Berean Standard Bible
King James Version
1God presides in the divine assembly; He renders judgment among the gods:
God standeth in the congregation of the mighty; he judgeth among the gods.
2“How long will you judge unjustly and show partiality to the wicked? Selah
How long will ye judge unjustly, and accept the persons of the wicked? Selah.
3Defend the cause of the weak and fatherless; uphold the rights of the afflicted and oppressed.
Defend the poor and fatherless: do justice to the afflicted and needy.
4Rescue the weak and needy; save them from the hand of the wicked.
Deliver the poor and needy: rid them out of the hand of the wicked.
5They do not know or understand; they wander in the darkness; all the foundations of the earth are shaken.
They know not, neither will they understand; they walk on in darkness: all the foundations of the earth are out of course.
6I have said, ‘You are gods; you are all sons of the Most High.’
I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High.
7But like mortals you will die, and like rulers you will fall.”
But ye shall die like men, and fall like one of the princes.
8Arise, O God, judge the earth, for all the nations are Your inheritance.
Arise, O God, judge the earth: for thou shalt inherit all nations.
