1898 Young's Literal Translation (YLT)

Psalms 82

1 The psalmist, having exhorted the judges, 5 and reproved their negligence, 8 prayeth God to judge.

 82:1 ¶ —A Psalm of Asaph. God hath stood in the company of God, In the midst God doth judge.

 82:2 Till when do ye judge perversely? And the face of the wicked lift up? Selah.

 82:3 Judge ye the weak and fatherless, The afflicted and the poor declare righteous.

 82:4 Let the weak and needy escape, From the hand of the wicked deliver them.

 82:5 They knew not, nor do they understand, In darkness they walk habitually, Moved are all the foundations of earth.

 82:6 I—I have said, 'Gods ye [are], And sons of the Most High—all of you,

 82:7 But as man ye die, and as one of the heads ye fall,

 82:8 Rise, O God, judge the earth, For Thou hast inheritance among all the nations!
