NRSV Psalms 82 Chapter
82:1
God has taken his place in the divine council; in the midst of the gods he holds judgment:
82:2
"How long will you judge unjustly and show partiality to the wicked?Selah
82:3
Give justice to the weak and the orphan; maintain the right of the lowly and the destitute.
82:4
Rescue the weak and the needy; deliver them from the hand of the wicked."
82:5
They have neither knowledge nor understanding, they walk around in darkness; all the foundations of the earth are shaken.
82:6
I say, "You are gods, children of the Most High, all of you;
82:7
nevertheless, you shall die like mortals, and fall like any prince."
82:8
Rise up, O God, judge the earth; for all the nations belong to you!
