Psalm 82

1 God presides in the great assembly; he renders judgment among the “gods”:

1 God presides in the heavenly council; in the assembly of the gods he gives his decision:

2 “How long will you defend the unjust and show partiality to the wicked?

2 "You must stop judging unjustly; you must no longer be partial to the wicked!

3 Defend the weak and the fatherless; uphold the cause of the poor and the oppressed.

3 Defend the rights of the poor and the orphans; be fair to the needy and the helpless.

4 Rescue the weak and the needy; deliver them from the hand of the wicked.

4 Rescue them from the power of evil people.

5 “The ‘gods’ know nothing, they understand nothing. They walk about in darkness; all the foundations of the earth are shaken.

5 "How ignorant you are! How stupid! You are completely corrupt, and justice has disappeared from the world.

6 “I said, ‘You are “gods”; you are all sons of the Most High.’

6 "You are gods,' I said; "all of you are children of the Most High.'

7 But you will die like mere mortals; you will fall like every other ruler.”

7 But you will die like mortals; your life will end like that of any prince."

8 Rise up, O God, judge the earth, for all the nations are your inheritance.

8 Come, O God, and rule the world; all the nations are yours.
