<Psalms 82

[1] God takes His stand in His own congregation; He judges in the midst of the rulers.

[2] How long will you judge unjustly And show partiality to the wicked? Selah.

[3] Vindicate the weak and fatherless; Do justice to the afflicted and destitute.

[4] Rescue the weak and needy; Deliver them out of the hand of the wicked.

[5] They do not know nor do they understand; They walk about in darkness; All the foundations of the earth are shaken.

[6] I said, “You are gods, And all of you are sons of the Most High.

[7] Nevertheless you will die like men And fall like any one of the princes.”

[8] Arise, O God, judge the earth! For it is You who possesses all the nations.
