Psalms Chapter 82 (NIV 11)

Compare with Version:

¹ A psalm of Asaph. God presides in the great assembly; he renders judgment among the “gods”:

² “How long will you[153] defend the unjust and show partiality to the wicked?[154]

³ Defend the weak and the fatherless; uphold the cause of the poor and the oppressed.

⁴ Rescue the weak and the needy; deliver them from the hand of the wicked.

⁵ “The ‘gods’ know nothing, they understand nothing. They walk about in darkness; all the foundations of the earth are shaken.

⁶ “I said, ‘You are “gods”; you are all sons of the Most High.’

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

⁸ Rise up, O God, judge the earth, for all the nations are your inheritance.
