Psalm 82 82 Psalms Book 3 Arabic Simplified Text 1 ARST God stands in heaven in a meeting of all the spirits whom he has placed in charge of what he created. He tells them that he has decided this: BSB BSB: A Psalm of Asaph. God presides in the divine assembly; He renders judgment among the gods:
2 ARST “You must stop judging people unfairly; you must no longer make decisions that favor wicked people! BSB BSB: “How long will you judge unjustly and show partiality to the wicked? Selah
3 ARST You must defend people who are poor and orphans; you must act fairly toward those who are needy and those who have no one to help them. BSB BSB: Defend the cause of the weak and fatherless; uphold the rights of the afflicted and oppressed.
4 ARST Rescue them from the power of the wicked people!” BSB BSB: Rescue the weak and needy; save them from the hand of the wicked.
5 ARST Those rulers do not know or understand anything! They are very corrupt, and as a result of their corrupt behavior, it is as though the foundation of the world is being shaken! BSB BSB: They do not know or understand; they wander in the darkness; all the foundations of the earth are shaken.
6 ARST I previously said to them,“You think you are gods! It is as though you are all my sons, BSB BSB: I have said, ‘You are gods; you are all sons of the Most High.’
7 ARST but you will die as people do; your lives will end as the lives of all rulers end.” BSB BSB: But like mortals you will die, and like rulers you will fall.”
8 ARST God, arise and judge everyone on the earth because all the people groups belong to you! BSB BSB: Arise, O God, judge the earth, for all the nations are Your inheritance.
