- Chapter 82 -

God presides in the divine assembly

1
A PSALM OF ASAPH. God has stood in the congregation of God, || He judges among the gods.
2
Until when do you judge perversely? And lift up the face of the wicked? Selah.
3
Judge the weak and fatherless, || Declare the afflicted and the poor righteous.
4
Let the weak and needy escape, || Deliver them from the hand of the wicked.
5
They did not know, nor do they understand, || They habitually walk in darkness, || All the foundations of earth are moved.
6
I have said, “You [are] gods, || And sons of the Most Highall of you,
7
But you die as man, and you fall as one of the heads.”
8
Rise, O God, judge the earth, || For You have inheritance among all the nations!
