Psalm 82

God the Supreme Ruler

1 God presides in the heavenly council;

in the assembly of the gods he gives his decision:

2 “You must stop judging unjustly;

you must no longer be partial to the wicked!

3 Defend the rights of the poor and the orphans;

be fair to the needy and the helpless.

4 Rescue them from the power of evil people.

5 “How ignorant you are! How stupid!

You are completely corrupt,

and justice has disappeared from the world.

6 ‘You are gods,’ I said;

‘all of you are children of the Most High.’

7 But you will die like mortals;

your life will end like that of any prince.”

8 Come, O God, and rule the world;

all the nations are yours.
