New American Standard Bible
Chapter 82
1God takes His position in His assembly; He judges in the midst of the gods. 2How long will you judge unjustly And show partiality to the wicked? Selah 3Vindicate the weak and fatherless; Do justice to the afflicted and destitute. 4Rescue the weak and needy; Save them from the hand of the wicked. 5They do not know nor do they understand; They walk around in darkness; All the foundations of the earth are shaken. 6 I said, 'You are gods, And all of you are sons of the Most High. 7Nevertheless you will die like men, And fall like one of the princes.'King James Version

Chapter 82
1A psalm of Asaph. God stands in the divine assembly; he pronounces judgment among the gods:
2"How long will you judge unjustly and show partiality to the wicked? Selah
3Provide justice for the needy and the fatherless; uphold the rights of the oppressed and the destitute.
New Living Translation
3'Give justice to the poor and the orphan; uphold the rights of the oppressed and the destitute.
4Rescue the poor and helpless; deliver them from the grasp of evil people.
5But these oppressors know nothing; they are so ignorant! They wander about in darkness, while the whole world is shaken to the core.
6I say, ‘You are gods; you are all children of the Most High.
7But you will die like mere mortals and fall like every other ruler.’'

Chapter 82
1{A Psalm of Asaph.} God stands in the congregation of the mighty; He judges among the gods.
3Defend the poor and fatherless; Do justice to the afflicted and needy.
4Deliver the poor and needy; Free them from the hand of the wicked.
5They do not know, nor do they understand; They walk about in darkness; All the foundations of the earth are unstable.
6I said, “You are gods, And all of you are children of the Most High.
7But you shall die like men, And fall like one of the princes.”
