Psalm 82

God takes his stand in the council of heaven;

he gives judgment in the midst of the gods:

"How long will you judge unjustly,

and show favor to the wicked?

Save the weak and the orphan;

defend the humble and needy;

Rescue the weak and the poor;

deliver them from the power of the wicked.

They do not know, neither do they understand; they go about in darkness;

all the foundations of the earth are shaken.

Now I say to you, 'You are gods,

and all of you children of the Most High;

Nevertheless, you shall die like mortals,

and fall like any prince.'"

Arise, O God, and rule the earth,

for you shall take all nations for your own.
