Psalms 82

¹ Elohim is stationed in the congregation of El; Among the elohim is He judging: ² How long shall you judge with iniquity And lift up the faces of the wicked? ³ Redress the poor and the orphan; To the humbled and destitute grant justice. ⁴ Deliver the poor and the needy; From the hand of the wicked, give rescue. ⁵ They do not know and are not understanding; In darkness are they walking about; All the foundations of the earth are slipping. ⁶ I Myself have said: you are elohim, And sons of the Supreme are all of you. ⁷ Yet you shall die like common humanity, And like any other of the chiefs you shall fall. ⁸ Do arise, O Elohim; do judge the earth; For it is You Yourself Who shall have the allotment of all the nations.
