Psalm 82 - The Scriptures 1998

¹ Elohim stands in the congregation of Ě

² How long would you judge perversely, And show partiality to the wrong? Selah.

³ Give right-ruling to the poor and fatherless, Do right to the afflicted and needy.

⁴ Rescue the poor and needy; Deliver them from the hand of the wrong.

⁵ They do not know, nor do they understand, They walk about in darkness. All the foundations of the earth are shaken.

⁶ I, I said, “You are elohim, And all of you are sons of the Most High.

⁷ “But as men you die, And fall as one of the heads.”

⁸ Arise, O Elohim, judge the earth, For You shall possess all the nations.
