Psalm 82
The full text of Psalm 82 in the Trinity Bible Version — clear modern English, translated from the original Hebrew. Free to read.
A psalm of Asaph.
1 God stands in the divine assembly;
among the gods he renders judgment:
2 "How long will you judge unjustly
and show partiality to the wicked? Selah
3 Defend the weak and the fatherless;
do justice to the afflicted and the destitute.
4 Rescue the weak and the needy;
deliver them from the hand of the wicked."
5 They do not know, they do not understand;
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 Yet like mortals you will die,
and like any prince you will fall."
8 Rise up, O God, judge the earth,
for you shall inherit all the nations.
