Psalm 82

^{Tools
1} A Psalm of Asaph.

God takes His ^(A)stand in ^(a)His own congregation;
He ^(B)judges in the midst of the ^(b)^(C)rulers.

How long will you ^(D)judge unjustly
And ^(E)show partiality to the wicked? ^(c)Selah.

^{Tools

^(F)Vindicate the weak and fatherless;
Do justice to the afflicted and destitute.

^{Tools
4}

^(G)Rescue the weak and needy;
Deliver them out of the hand of the wicked.

^{Tools
5}

They ^(H)do not know nor do they understand;
They ^(I)walk about in darkness;
All the ^(J)foundations of the earth are shaken.

^(d)I ^(K)said, “You are gods,
And all of you are ^(L)sons of the Most High.

^{Tools

“Nevertheless ^(M)you will die like men
And fall like any ^(N)one of the princes.”

For it is You who ^(Q)possesses all the nations.
