# Psalms 82

[1](#verse-1) God presides in the great assembly. He judges among the gods.

[2](#verse-2) “How long will you judge unjustly, and show partiality to the wicked?” Selah.

[3](#verse-3) “Defend the weak, the poor, and the fatherless. Maintain the rights of the poor and oppressed.

[4](#verse-4) Rescue the weak and needy. Deliver them out of the hand of the wicked.”

[5](#verse-5) They don’t know, neither do they understand. They walk back and forth in darkness. All the foundations of the earth are shaken.

[6](#verse-6) I said, “You are gods, all of you are sons of the Most High.

[7](#verse-7) Nevertheless you shall die like men, and fall like one of the rulers.”

[8](#verse-8) Arise, God, judge the earth, for you inherit all of the nations.
