- Chapter 82 -

God presides in the divine assembly

1
A Psalm of Asaph. God has stood in the synagogue of gods, but, in their midst, he decides between gods.
2
How long will you judge unjustly and favor the faces of sinners?
3
Judge for the indigent and the orphan. Do justice to the humble and the poor.
4
Rescue the poor, and free the needy from the hand of the sinner.
5
They did not know and did not understand. They wander in darkness. All the foundations of the earth will be moved.
6
I said: You are gods, and all of you are sons of the Most High.
7
But you will die like men, and you will fall just like one of the princes.
8
Rise up, O God. Judge the earth. For you will inherit it with all the nations.

God presides in the divine assembly

1
God presides in the great assembly. He judges among the gods.
2
“How long will you judge unjustly, and show partiality to the wicked?” Selah.
3
“Defend the weak, the poor, and the fatherless. Maintain the rights of the poor and oppressed.
4
Rescue the weak and needy. Deliver them out of the hand of the wicked.”
5
They don’t know, neither do they understand. They walk back and forth in darkness. All the foundations of the earth are shaken.
6
I said, “You are gods, all of you are sons of the Most High.
7
Nevertheless you shall die like men, and fall like one of the rulers.”
8
Arise, God, judge the earth, for you inherit all of the nations.
