Psalm 82

1God standeth in the congregation of the mighty; he judgeth among the gods.
1God presides in the divine assembly; He renders judgment among the gods:
2How long will ye judge unjustly, and accept the persons of the wicked? Selah.
2“How long will you judge unjustly and show partiality to the wicked? Selah
3Defend the poor and fatherless: do justice to the afflicted and needy.
3Defend the cause of the weak and fatherless; uphold the rights of the afflicted and oppressed.
4Deliver the poor and needy: rid them out of the hand of the wicked.
4Rescue the weak and needy; save them from the hand of the wicked.
5They know not, neither will they understand; they walk on in darkness: all the foundations of the earth are out of course.
5They do not know or understand; they wander in the darkness; all the foundations of the earth are shaken.
6I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High.
6I have said, ‘You are gods; you are all sons of the Most High.’
7But ye shall die like men, and fall like one of the princes.
7But like mortals you will die, and like rulers you will fall.”
8Arise, O God, judge the earth: for thou shalt inherit all nations.
8Arise, O God, judge the earth, for all the nations are Your inheritance.
