Psalms - Chapter 82 | Good News Translation

  • 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.
