A Plea for Righteous Judgement
A psalm of Asaph.(A)
82 God stands in the divine assembly;
he pronounces judgement among the gods:[a](B)
2 ‘How long will you judge unjustly
and show partiality to the wicked?(C) Selah
3 Provide justice for the needy and the fatherless;
uphold the rights of the oppressed and the destitute.(D)
4 Rescue the poor and needy;
save them from the power of the wicked.’(E)
5 They do not know or understand;
they wander in darkness.(F)
All the foundations of the earth are shaken.(G)
6 I said, ‘You are gods;(H)
you are all sons of the Most High.(I)
7 However, you will die like humans
and fall like any other ruler.’(J)
8 Rise up, God, judge the earth,
for all the nations belong to you.(K)
