←Prev   Psalms 82 as rendered by/in  Next→ 


82:1  God presides in the heavenly council; in the assembly of the gods he gives his decision:
82:2  “You must stop judging unjustly; you must no longer be partial to the wicked!
82:3  Defend the rights of the poor and the orphans; be fair to the needy and the helpless.
82:4  Rescue them from the power of evil people.
82:5  “How ignorant you are! How stupid! You are completely corrupt, and justice has disappeared from the world.
82:6  ‘You are gods,’ I said; ‘all of you are children of the Most High.’
82:7  But you will die like mortals; your life will end like that of any prince.”
82:8  Come, O God, and rule the world; all the nations are yours.
