Psalms 82
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Berean Standard Bible
1A Psalm of Asaph. God standeth in the congregation of God; in the midst of the judges He judgeth:
1God presides in the divine assembly; He renders judgment among the gods:
2'How long will ye judge unjustly, and respect the persons of the wicked? Selah
2“How long will you judge unjustly and show partiality to the wicked? Selah
3Judge the poor and fatherless; do justice to the afflicted and destitute.
3Defend the cause of the weak and fatherless; uphold the rights of the afflicted and oppressed.
4Rescue the poor and needy; deliver them out of the hand of the wicked.
4Rescue the weak and needy; save them from the hand of the wicked.
5They know not, neither do they understand; they go about in darkness; all the foundations of the earth are moved.
5They do not know or understand; they wander in the darkness; all the foundations of the earth are shaken.
6I said: Ye are godlike beings, and all of you sons of the Most High.
6I have said, ‘You are gods; you are all sons of the Most High.’
7Nevertheless ye shall die like men, and fall like one of the princes.'
7But like mortals you will die, and like rulers you will fall.”
8Arise, O God, judge the earth; for Thou shalt possess all nations.
8Arise, O God, judge the earth, for all the nations are Your inheritance.
