God Stands in Judgment

Psa 82:1

A Psalm of Asaph.

God takes His stand in the congregation of [fn]God;

He judges in the midst of [fn]gods.

Psa 82:2

How long will you judge unrighteously

And show partiality to the wicked? [fn]Selah.

Psa 82:3

Give justice to the poor and the orphan;

Justify the afflicted and destitute.

Psa 82:4

Protect the poor and needy;

Deliver them out of the hand of the wicked.

Psa 82:5

They do not know and do not understand;

They walk about in darkness;

All the foundations of the earth are shaken.

Psa 82:6

[fn]I said, “You are gods,

And all of you are sons of the Most High.

Psa 82:7

“Nevertheless you will die like men

And you will fall like any one of the princes.”

Arise, O God, judge the earth!

For it is You who will inherit all the nations.
