Psalms 82 / 150
- 1
(Rescue the Weak and Needy)A Psalm of Asaph.
God has taken his place in the divine council;
in the midst of the gods he holds judgment:
- 2
"How long will you judge unjustly
and show partiality to the wicked? Selah
- 3
Give justice to the weak and the fatherless;
maintain the right of the afflicted and the destitute.
- 4
Rescue the weak and the needy;
deliver them from the hand of the wicked."
- 5
They have neither knowledge nor understanding,
they walk about in darkness;
all the foundations of the earth are shaken.
- 6
I said, "You are gods,
sons of the Most High, all of you;
- 7
nevertheless, like men you shall die,
and fall like any prince."
- 8
Arise, O God, judge the earth;
for you shall inherit all the nations!
