Psalms 82

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

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

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

⁴Rescue them from the power of evil people.

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

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

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

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