Psalm 82

A Psalm of Asaph.
1 God has taken his place in the divine council; 
   in the midst of the gods he holds judgment: 
2 “How long will you judge unjustly 
   and show partiality to the wicked? Selah 
3 Give justice to the weak and the fatherless; 
   maintain the right of the afflicted and the destitute. 
4 Rescue the weak and the needy; 
   deliver them from the hand of the wicked.” 
5 They have neither knowledge nor understanding, 
   they walk about in darkness; 
   all the foundations of the earth are shaken. 
6 I said, “You are gods, 
   sons of the Most High, all of you; 
7 nevertheless, like men you shall die, 
   and fall like any prince.”
8 Arise, O God, judge the earth; 
   for you shall inherit all the nations!
