Psalms 82 (NLT)

Psalms Chapter 82 (NLT)

Compare with Version:

¹ A psalm of Asaph. God presides over heaven’s court; he pronounces judgment on the heavenly beings:

² “How long will you hand down unjust decisions by favoring the wicked? Interlude

³ “Give justice to the poor and the orphan; uphold the rights of the oppressed and the destitute.

⁴ Rescue the poor and helpless; deliver them from the grasp of evil people.

⁵ But these oppressors know nothing; they are so ignorant! They wander about in darkness, while the whole world is shaken to the core.

⁶ I say, ‘You are gods; you are all children of the Most High.

⁷ But you will die like mere mortals and fall like every other ruler.’”

⁸ Rise up, O God, and judge the earth, for all the nations belong to you.
