Psalm 82
1 God takes His position in His assembly; He judges in the midst of the gods.
2 How long will you judge unjustly And show partiality to the wicked? Selah
3 Vindicate the weak and fatherless; Do justice to the afflicted and destitute.
4 Rescue the weak and needy; Save them from the hand of the wicked.
5 They do not know nor do they understand; They walk around in darkness; All the foundations of the earth are shaken.
6 I said, "You are gods, And all of you are sons of the Most High.
7 Nevertheless you will die like men, And fall like one of the princes."
8 Arise, God, judge the earth! For You possess all the nations.
Summary: God Judges the Gods
God presides over the great assembly, rebuking unjust rulers and commanding them to defend the weak and fatherless.
