Psalm 82:1-Psalm 83:1 - A Plea For Righteous Judgment

¹ A Psalm of Asaph.
God takes His stand in His own congregation;
He judges in the midst of the rulers.
² How long will you judge unjustly
And show partiality to the wicked? Selah.
³ Vindicate the weak and fatherless;
Do justice to the afflicted and destitute.
⁴ Rescue the weak and needy;
Deliver them out of the hand of the wicked.

⁵ They do not know nor do they understand;
They walk about in darkness;
All the foundations of the earth are shaken.

⁶ I said, “You are gods,
And all of you are sons of the Most High.
⁷ “Nevertheless you will die like men
And fall like any one of the princes.”
⁸ Arise, O God, judge the earth!
For it is You who possesses all the nations.

¹ A Song, a Psalm of Asaph.
O God, do not remain quiet;
Do not be silent and, O God, do not be still.
