Psalms 82:5-8 in English

⁵ They know not, neither do they understand; They walk to and fro in darkness: All the foundations of the earth are shaken.

⁶ I said, Ye are gods, And all of you sons of the Most High.

⁷ Nevertheless ye shall die like men, And fall like one of the princes.

⁸ Arise, O God, judge the earth; For thou shalt inherit all the nations.

⁵ They have said, Come, and let us utterly destroy them out of the nation; and let the name of Israel be remembered no more at all.

⁶ For they have taken counsel together with one consent: they have made a confederacy against thee;

⁷ even the tents of the Idumeans, and the Ismaelites; Moab, and the Agarenes;

⁸ Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalec; the Philistines also, with them that dwell at Tyre.

⁵ They know not, neither will they understand; they walk on in darkness: all the foundations of the earth are out of course.

⁶ I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High.

⁷ But ye shall die like men, and fall like one of the princes.

⁸ Arise, O God, judge the earth: for thou shalt inherit all nations.

⁵ They know not, neither will they understand; they walk on in darkness: all the foundations of the earth are out of course.

⁶ I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High.

⁷ But ye shall die like men, and fall like one of the princes.

⁸ Arise, O God, judge the earth: for thou shalt inherit all nations.

⁵ For they have taken counsel together with one consent: they have made a confederacy against you;

⁶ even the tents of the Idumeans, and the Ismaelites; Moab, and the Agarenes;

⁷ Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalec; the Philistines also, with them that dwell at Tyre.

⁸ Yes, Assur too is come with them: they have become a help to the children of Lot. Pause.

⁵ They know not, neither do they understand; they walk to and fro in darkness: all the foundations of the earth are moved.

⁶ I said, Ye are gods, and all of you sons of the Most High.

⁷ Nevertheless ye shall die like men, and fall like one of the princes.

⁸ Arise, O God, judge the earth: for thou shalt inherit all the nations.

⁵ Those rulers do not know or understand anything! They are very corrupt/evil, and as a result of their corrupt/evil behavior, it is as though the foundation of the world is being shaken!

⁶ I the all-powerful God, previously said to them, “You think you are gods! It is as though you are all my sons,

⁷ but you will die like people do; your lives will end, like the lives of all rulers end.”

⁸ God, arise and judge everyone on MTY the earth, because all the people-groups belong to you!

⁵ For they have taken counsel together with one consent: they have made a confederacy against you;

⁶ even the tents of the Idumeans, and the Ismaelites; Moab, and the Agarenes;

⁷ Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalec; the Philistines also, with them that dwell at Tyre.

⁸ Yes, Assur too is come with them: they have become a help to the children of Lot. Pause.
