Psalm 82

A Plea for Justice

A Psalm of Asaph.
¹ God has taken his place in the divine council;
   in the midst of the gods he holds judgement:
² ‘How long will you judge unjustly
   and show partiality to the wicked?
          Selah
³ Give justice to the weak and the orphan;
   maintain the right of the lowly and the destitute.
⁴ Rescue the weak and the needy;
   deliver them from the hand of the wicked.’
