1 When all the other godshave come together,the Lord God judges themand says:
2 “How long will youkeep judging unfairlyand favoring evil people?
3 Be fair to the poorand to orphans.Defend the helplessand everyone in need.
4 Rescue the weak and homelessfrom the powerful handsof heartless people.
5 “None of you knowor understand a thing.You live in darkness,while the foundationsof the earth tremble.
6 “I, the Most High God, saythat all of you are godsand also my own children.
7 But you will die,just like everyone else,including powerful rulers.”
8 Do something, God!Judge the nations of the earth;they belong to you.
