82 1 God has taken his place in the divine council;
in the midst of the gods he holds judgment:
82 2 "How long will you judge unjustly
and show partiality to the wicked? Selah
82 3 Give justice to the weak and the fatherless;
maintain the right of the afflicted and the destitute.
82 4 Rescue the weak and the needy;
deliver them from the hand of the wicked."
82 5 They have neither knowledge nor understanding, they walk about in darkness;
all the foundations of the earth are shaken.
82 6 I say, "You are gods,
sons of the Most High, all of you;
82 7 nevertheless, you shall die like men,
and fall like any prince."
82 8 Arise O God, judge the earth;
for to you belong all the nations!
