| 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.
