Psalms 82 KJV
Summary: A striking courtroom vision: "God standeth in the congregation of the mighty; he judgeth among the gods" (v. 1), rebuking corrupt rulers or divine beings entrusted with justice for favoring the wicked while failing to "defend the poor and fatherless" (v. 3). Though addressed with the exalted title "Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High" (v. 6), they are condemned to "die like men, and fall like one of the princes" for their injustice (v. 7). The psalm closes with a plea for God himself to rise and judge the earth, since all nations belong to him as his inheritance.
1God standeth in the congregation of the mighty; he judgeth among the gods.
2How long will ye judge unjustly, and accept the persons of the wicked? Selah.
3Defend the poor and fatherless: do justice to the afflicted and needy.
4Deliver the poor and needy: rid them out of the hand of the wicked.
5They know not, neither will they understand; they walk on in darkness: all the foundations of the earth are out of course.
6I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High.
7But ye shall die like men, and fall like one of the princes.
8Arise, O God, judge the earth: for thou shalt inherit all nations.
