Psalm 82

God stands in the council of princes; *

he is a Judge among gods.

“How long will you give wrong judgment *

and accept the ungodly?

Defend the poor and fatherless; *

see that those who are in need and necessity have what is right.

Deliver the outcast and poor; *

save them from the hand of the ungodly.”

They will not learn nor understand, but walk about in darkness; *

all the foundations of the earth are shaken.

I have said, “You are gods, *

and you are all the children of the Most High;

But you shall die like mortals, *

and fall like one of the princes.”

Arise, O God, and judge the earth, *

for you shall take all nations for your inheritance.
