82
1 God stands in the divine assembly; in the midst of the gods he renders judgment.
2 How long will you judge unjustly and show favoritism to the wicked?
3 Defend the poor and fatherless; maintain the rights of the afflicted and destitute.
4 Rescue the poor and needy; take them out of the hand of the wicked.
5 They neither know nor understand; they wander around in the darkness; all the foundations of the earth crumble.
6 I said, “You are gods, and all of you sons of the Most High.
7 Nevertheless you will die like men and fall like one of the princes.”
8 Arise, God, judge the earth, for you have an inheritance in all the nations.
The Book of Psalms
