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

¹ -- A Psalm of Asaph. God hath stood in the company of God, In the midst God doth judge. ² Till when do ye judge perversely? And the face of the wicked lift up? Selah. ³ Judge ye the weak and fatherless, The afflicted and the poor declare righteous. ⁴ Let the weak and needy escape, From the hand of the wicked deliver them.

⁵ They knew not, nor do they understand, In darkness they walk habitually, Moved are all the foundations of earth.

⁶ I -- I have said, 'Gods ye are, And sons of the Most High -- all of you, ⁷ But as man ye die, and as one of the heads ye fall, ⁸ Rise, O God, judge the earth, For Thou hast inheritance among all the nations!

¹ A Song, -- A Psalm of Asaph. O God, let there be no silence to Thee, Be not silent, nor be quiet, O God.
