Psalms 82

   |   

God the Supreme Ruler[a]

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 (a)‘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.
