Psalm 82

1. 1

   God takes his stand in the council of heaven; *
   he gives judgment in the midst of the gods:

2. 2

   "How long will you judge unjustly, *
   and show favor to the wicked?

3. 3

   Save the weak and the orphan; *
   defend the humble and needy;

4. 4

   Rescue the weak and the poor; *
   deliver them from the power of the wicked.

5. 5

   They do not know, neither do they understand; they go about in darkness; *
   all the foundations of the earth are shaken.

6. 6

   Now I say to you, 'You are gods, *
   and all of you children of the Most High;

7. 7

   Nevertheless, you shall die like mortals, *
   and fall like any prince.'"

8. 8

   Arise, O God, and rule the earth, *
   for you shall take all nations for your own.
