A psalm of Asaph.
82:1 God stands in 2 the assembly of El; 3
in the midst of the gods 4 he renders judgment. 5
82:2 He says, 6 “How long will you make unjust legal decisions
and show favoritism to the wicked? 7 (Selah)
82:3 Defend the cause of the poor and the fatherless! 8
Vindicate the oppressed and suffering!
82:4 Rescue the poor and needy!
Deliver them from the power 9 of the wicked!
82:5 They 10 neither know nor understand.
They stumble 11 around in the dark,
while all the foundations of the earth crumble. 12
