Psalm 82 :: Bible in Basic English (BBE)

Psa 82:1<A Psalm. Of Asaph.> God is in the meeting-place of God; he is judging among the gods.

Psa 82:2How long will you go on judging falsely, having respect for the persons of evil-doers? (Selah.)

Psa 82:3Give ear to the cause of the poor and the children without fathers; let those who are troubled and in need have their rights.

Psa 82:4Be the saviour of the poor and those who have nothing: take them out of the hand of the evil-doers.

Psa 82:5They have no knowledge or sense; they go about in the dark: all the bases of the earth are moved.

Psa 82:6I said, You are gods; all of you are the sons of the Most High:

Psa 82:7But you will come to death like men, falling like one of the rulers of the earth.

Psa 82:8Up! O God, come as judge of the earth; for all the nations are your heritage.
