82:1 This is a psalm that Asaph wrote. God calls the powerful rulers to meet in heaven. He sits on his throne to judge them.
82:2 He asks them, ‘How long will you continue to judge people in a way that is not fair? How long will you say that wicked people are right? Selah.
82:3 You must help poor people and those with no family to receive justice. Help those who have pain and trouble to receive the help that they need.
82:4 Rescue weak and helpless people, so that evil people cannot hurt them.
82:5 The powerful leaders know nothing and they understand nothing. They walk about in a dark place. At the same time the foundation of the earth shakes!
82:6 I said, “You are gods. You are all sons of the Most High God.
82:7 But you will die, as all people die. You will come to an end, like all other rulers.” ’
82:8 God, now do something! Judge all the nations of the earth. For they all belong to you.
