<Psalm 82

[1] God stands in the congregation of the mighty; He judges among the gods.

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

[3] Defend the poor and fatherless; Do justice to the afflicted and needy.

[4] Deliver the poor and needy; Free them from 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 unstable.

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

[7] But you shall die like men, And fall like one of the princes.”

[8] Arise, O God, judge the earth; For You shall inherit all nations.
