82:1  A Psalm by Asaph. God presides in the great assembly. He judges among the gods.

82:2  "How long will you judge unjustly, And show partiality to the wicked?" Selah.

82:3  "Defend the weak, the poor, and the fatherless. Maintain the rights of the poor and oppressed.

82:4  Rescue the weak and needy. Deliver them out of the hand of the wicked."

82:5  They don't know, neither do they understand. They walk back and forth in darkness. All the foundations of the earth are shaken.

82:6  I said, "You are gods, All of you are sons of the Most High.

82:7  Nevertheless you shall die like men, And fall like one of the rulers."

82:8  Arise, God, judge the earth, For you inherit all of the nations.
