| 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. |
