Psalms 82

A psalm of Asaph.
 1  God presides over heaven's court;
  he pronounces judgment on the heavenly beings:
 2  "How long will you hand down unjust decisions
  by favoring the wicked?    Interlude

 3  "Give justice to the poor and the orphan; uphold the rights of the oppressed and the destitute."  4  Rescue the poor and helpless; deliver them from the grasp of evil people.  5  But these oppressors know nothing;
  they are so ignorant!
They wander about in darkness,
  while the whole world is shaken to the core.
 6  I say, `You are gods;
  you are all children of the Most High.
 7  But you will die like mere mortals
  and fall like every other ruler.'"

 8  Rise up, O God, and judge the earth,
  for all the nations belong to you.
