82:1 God presides in the great assembly he gives judgment among the gods:
82:2 How long will you [The Hebrew is plural.] defend the unjust and show partiality to the wicked? Selah
82:3 Defend the cause of the weak and fatherless maintain the rights of the poor and oppressed.
82:4 Rescue the weak and needy deliver them from the hand of the wicked.
82:5 They know nothing, they understand nothing. They walk about in darkness all the foundations of the earth are shaken.
82:6 I said, `You are gods you are all sons of the Most High.’
82:7 But you will die like mere men you will fall like every other ruler.
82:8 Rise up, O God, judge the earth, for all the nations are your inheritance.83 A SONG. A PSALM OF ASAPH.
