# Chapter 82
1. God stands in the congregation of the mighty;
He judges among the gods.

2. How long will you judge unjustly,
And show partiality to the wicked? Selah

3. Defend the poor and fatherless;
Do justice to the afflicted and needy.

4. Deliver the poor and needy;
Free them from the hand of the wicked.

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

6. I said, "You are gods,
And all of you are children of the Most High.

7. But you shall die like men,
And fall like one of the princes."

8. Arise, O God, judge the earth;
For You shall inherit all nations.
