1(82) A Psalm for Asaph. God stands in the assembly of gods; and in the midst [of them] will judge gods.
1For the Chief Musician. On an instrument of Gath. By Asaph. Sing aloud to God, our strength! Make a joyful shout to the God of Jacob!
2How long will you⌃ judge unrighteously, and accept the persons of sinners? Pause.
2Raise a song, and bring here the tambourine, the pleasant lyre with the harp.
3Judge the orphan and poor: do justice to the low and needy.
3Blow the trumpet at the New Moon, at the full moon, on our feast day.
4Rescue the needy, and deliver the poor out of the hand of the sinner.
4For it is a statute for Israel, an ordinance of the God of Jacob.
5They know not, nor understand; they walk on in darkness: all the foundations of the earth shall be shaken.
5He appointed it in Joseph for a covenant, when he went out over the land of Egypt, I heard a language that I didn’t know.
6I have said, You⌃ are gods; and all [of you] children of the Most High.
6“I removed his shoulder from the burden. His hands were freed from the basket.
7But you⌃ die as men, and fall as one of the princes.
7You called in trouble, and I delivered you. I answered you in the secret place of thunder. I tested you at the waters of Meribah.” Selah.
8Arise, O God, judge the earth: for you shall inherit all nations.
8“Hear, my people, and I will testify to you, Israel, if you would listen to me!
