Psalm 82

¹ God 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

³ Give justice to the weak and the orphan; maintain the right of the lowly and the destitute.

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

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

⁶ I say, “You are gods, children of the Most High, all of you;

⁷ nevertheless, you shall die like mortals and fall like any prince.”

⁸ Rise up, O God, judge the earth, for all the nations belong to you!
