Psalms  82

1. God presides in the great assembly; he gives judgment among the "gods":
2. "How long will you defend the unjust and show partiality to the wicked ? Selah
3. Defend the cause of the weak and fatherless; maintain the rights of the poor and oppressed.
4. Rescue the weak and needy; deliver them from the hand of the wicked.
5. "They know nothing, they understand nothing. They walk about in darkness; all the foundations of the earth are shaken.
6. "I said, 'You are "gods"; you are all sons of the Most High.'
7. But you will die like mere men; you will fall like every other ruler."
8. Rise up, O God, judge the earth, for all the nations are your inheritance.
