| # Chapter 82
#### 1 | A Psalm. Of Asaph. God is in the meeting-place of God; he is judging among the gods.
#### 2 | How long will you go on judging falsely, having respect for the persons of evil-doers? (Selah.)
#### 3 | Give ear to the cause of the poor and the children without fathers; let those who are troubled and in need have their rights.
#### 4 | Be the saviour of the poor and those who have nothing: take them out of the hand of the evil-doers.
#### 5 | They have no knowledge or sense; they go about in the dark: all the bases of the earth are moved.
#### 6 | I said, You are gods; all of you are the sons of the Most High:
#### 7 | But you will come to death like men, falling like one of the rulers of the earth.
#### 8 | Up! O God, come as judge of the earth; for all the nations are your heritage.
