A Plea for Justice

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.
