Psalms

A Psalm of Asaph.

Against corrupt Judges.  Psalm 82(v81)

1God has taken his place in the divine council;
in the midst of the gods he holds judgment:
 2"How long will you judge unjustly
and show partiality to the wicked? Selah
 3Give justice to the weak and the fatherless;
maintain the right of the afflicted and the destitute.
 4Rescue the weak and the needy;
deliver them from the hand of the wicked."

5They have neither knowledge nor understanding, they walk about in darkness;
all the foundations of the earth are shaken.

6I say, "You are gods,
sons of the Most High, all of you;
7nevertheless, you shall die like men,
and fall like any prince."

8Arise O God, judge the earth;
for to you belong all the nations!

This page displays the katapi New Standard Bible as flowing text.
The katapi New Standard Bible is a very light revision of the RSV. The changes are: (1) In places where 'the LORD', 'O LORD' occurs in the RSV, (it represents the tetragrammaton - YHWH - which is in the hebrew text), I have used the name 'Yahweh'.
(2) I have removed the quotation marks and hyphens that were used in so many names in the RSV as an aid to correct pronunciation. This now brings it in line with all other English versions, and makes any word-search more accurate.
(3) I have changed all (I hope!) of the RSV archaic language sections to modern.
