Psalms, Chapter 82

1. A Psalm. Of Asaph. God is in the meeting-place of God; he is judging among the gods.    2. How long will you go on judging falsely, having respect for the persons of evil-doers? (Selah.)    3. Give ear to the cause of the poor and the children without fathers; let those who are troubled and in need have their rights.    4. Be the saviour of the poor and those who have nothing: take them out of the hand of the evil-doers.    5. They have no knowledge or sense; they go about in the dark: all the bases of the earth are moved.    6. I said, You are gods; all of you are the sons of the Most High:    7. But you will come to death like men, falling like one of the rulers of the earth.    8. Up! O God, come as judge of the earth; for all the nations are your heritage.
