Psalm 82 :: Amplified Bible (AMP)

How long will you judge unjustly

And show partiality to the wicked? Selah.

Vindicate the weak and fatherless;

Do justice and maintain the rights of the afflicted and destitute.

Rescue the weak and needy;

Rescue them from the hand of the wicked.

The rulers do not know nor do they understand;

They walk on in the darkness [of complacent satisfaction];

All the foundations of the earth [the fundamental principles of the administration of justice] are shaken.

I said, “You are [fn]gods;

Indeed, all of you are sons of the Most High.

“Nevertheless you will die like men

And fall like any one of the princes.”

Arise, O God, judge the earth!

For to You belong all the nations.
