82:1  A psalm of Asaph. God presides in the great assembly; he renders judgment among the "gods":
82:2  "How long will you defend the unjust and show partiality to the wicked?
82:3  Defend the weak and the fatherless; uphold the cause of the poor and the oppressed.
82:4  Rescue the weak and the needy; deliver them from the hand of the wicked.
82:5  "The 'gods' know nothing, they understand nothing. They walk about in darkness; all the foundations of the earth are shaken.
82:6  "I said, 'You are "gods"; you are all sons of the Most High.'
82:7  But you will die like mere mortals; you will fall like every other ruler."
82:8  Rise up, O God, judge the earth, for all the nations are your inheritance.
