82:1 A psalm of Asaph. God takes his place in the divine council; in the midst of the gods he pronounces judgment:
82:2 “How long will you issue unfair judgments and rule in favor of those who are wicked? Selah
82:3 “Grant justice to the weak and the orphan; defend the rights of the lowly and the poor.
82:4 Rescue the wretched and the needy; free them from the hand of the wicked.
82:5 “They neither know nor understand; they wander around in darkness while all the foundations of the earth are crumbling.
82:6 I declare, ‘Although you are gods, all of you sons of the Most High,
82:7 you will die as all men do; like any ruler you will fall.’ ”
82:8 Rise up, O God, and judge the earth, for all the nations belong to you.
