Psalms - Chapter 82 - New International Version
- God presides in the great assembly; he renders judgment among the "gods":
- "How long will you "defend the unjust and show partiality to the wicked? [^
- ]
- Defend the weak and the fatherless; uphold the cause of the poor and the oppressed.
- Rescue the weak and the needy; deliver them from the hand of the wicked.
- "The 'gods' know nothing, they understand nothing. They walk about in darkness; all the foundations of the earth are shaken.
- "I said, 'You are "gods"; you are all sons of the Most High.'
- But you will die like mere mortals; you will fall like every other ruler."
- Rise up, O God, judge the earth, for all the nations are your inheritance.
