Chapter 82
Psalms
Verse 1God has taken his place in the divine council;in the midst of the gods he holds judgment:Verse 2“How long will you judge unjustlyand show partiality to the wicked? SelahVerse 3Give justice to the weak and the fatherless;maintain the right of the afflicted and the destitute.Verse 4Rescue the weak and the needy;deliver them from the hand of the wicked.”Verse 5They have neither knowledge nor understanding,they walk about in darkness;all the foundations of the earth are shaken.Verse 6I said, “You are gods,sons of the Most High, all of you;Verse 7nevertheless, like men you shall die,and fall like any prince.”Verse 8Arise, O God, judge the earth;for you shall inherit all the nations!
