Psalm 82 (WEBP)
[1] God presides in the great assembly. He judges among the gods.
[2] “How long will you judge unjustly, and show partiality to the wicked?” Selah.
[3] “Defend the weak, the poor, and the fatherless. Maintain the rights of the poor and oppressed.
[4] Rescue the weak and needy. Deliver them out of the hand of the wicked.”
[5] They don’t know, neither do they understand. They walk back and forth in darkness. All the foundations of the earth are shaken.
[6] I said, “You are gods, all of you are sons of the Most High.
[7] Nevertheless you shall die like men, and fall like one of the rulers.”
[8] Arise, God, judge the earth, for you inherit all of the nations.

Psalm 82 (KJVS)
[1] «A Psalm H4210 of Asaph H623.» God H430 standeth H5324 (8737) in the congregation H5712 of the mighty H410; he judgeth H8199 (8799) among H7130 the gods H430.
[2] How long will ye judge H8199 (8799) unjustly H5766, and accept H5375 (8799) the persons H6440 of the wicked H7563? Selah H5542.
[3] Defend H8199 (8798) the poor H1800 and fatherless H3490: do justice H6663 (8685) to the afflicted H6041 and needy H7326 (8802).
[4] Deliver H6403 (8761) the poor H1800 and needy H34: rid H5337 (8685) [them] out of the hand H3027 of the wicked H7563.
[5] They know H3045 (8804) not, neither will they understand H995 (8799); they walk H1980 (8691) on in darkness H2825: all the foundations H4144 of the earth H776 are out of course H4131 (8735).
[6] I have said H559 (8804), Ye [are] gods H430; and all of you [are] children H1121 of the most High H5945.
[7] But H403 ye shall die H4191 (8799) like men H120, and fall H5307 (8799) like one H259 of the princes H8269.
[8] Arise H6965 (8798), O God H430, judge H8199 (8798) the earth H776: for thou shalt inherit H5157 (8799) all nations H1471.
Young’s Literal Translation
Psalm 82 (YLT)
[1] God hath stood in the company of God, In the midst God doth judge.
[2] Till when do ye judge perversely? And the face of the wicked lift up? Selah.
[3] Judge ye the weak and fatherless, The afflicted and the poor declare righteous.
[4] Let the weak and needy escape, From the hand of the wicked deliver them.
[5] They knew not, nor do they understand, In darkness they walk habitually, Moved are all the foundations of earth.
[6] I-I have said, ‘Gods ye are, And sons of the Most High-all of you,
[7] But as man ye die, and as one of the heads ye fall,
[8] Rise, O God, judge the earth, For Thou hast inheritance among all the nations!
