82:1 A psalm of Asaph. God takes a stand in the divine council, gives judgment in the midst of the gods.
82:2 “How long will you judge unjustly and favor the cause of the wicked? Selah
82:3 “Defend the lowly and fatherless; render justice to the afflicted and needy.
82:4 Rescue the lowly and poor; deliver them from the hand of the wicked.”
82:5 The gods neither know nor understand, wandering about in darkness, and all the world’s foundations shake.
82:6 I declare: “Gods though you be, offspring of the Most High all of you,
82:7 Yet like any mortal you shall die; like any prince you shall fall.”
82:8 Arise, O God, judge the earth, for yours are all the nations.
