82
A Plea for Righteous Judgment
A psalm of Asaph. # 82:title 1Ch 16:5,7
1God stands in the divine assembly;
he pronounces judgment among the gods: # 82:1 Or the heavenly beings, or the earthly rulers; Hb elohim,# 82:1 Jb 21:22; Ps 7:8; 58:11
2“How long will you judge unjustly
and show partiality to the wicked? # 82:2 Dt 1:17; Pr 18:5; Mal 2:9 Selah
3Provide justice for the needy and the fatherless;
uphold the rights of the oppressed and the destitute. # 82:3 Dt 24:17; Is 11:4; Jr 22:16
4Rescue the poor and needy;
save them from the power of the wicked.” # 82:4 Jb 29:12; Pr 24:11
5They do not know or understand;
they wander in darkness. # 82:5 Pr 2:13; Is 44:18
All the foundations of the earth are shaken. # 82:5 Ps 11:3
6I said, “You are gods; # 82:6 Jn 10:34
you are all sons of the Most High. # 82:6 Ps 82:1; Lk 6:35
7However, you will die like humans
and fall like any other ruler.” # 82:7 Ps 49:12
8Rise up, God, judge the earth,
for all the nations belong to you. # 82:8 Ps 58:11; 96:13
