Psalm
Chapters 82:2-8
New International Version Anglicized
2‘How long will you defend the unjustand show partiality to the wicked?
3Defend the weak and the fatherless;uphold the cause of the poor and the oppressed.
4Rescue 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.”
7But you will die like mere mortals;you will fall like every other ruler.’
8Rise up, O God, judge the earth,for all the nations are your inheritance.
