Psalm 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? s 

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."
