Psalms 82 NIV

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

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

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

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

5. “The ‘gods’ 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 mortals; you will fall like every other ruler.”

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