82:1  (A psalm by Asaph.) When all the other gods have come together, the Lord God judges them and says:
82:2  “How long will you keep judging unfairly and favoring evil people?
82:3  Be fair to the poor and to orphans. Defend the helpless and everyone in need.
82:4  Rescue the weak and homeless from the powerful hands of heartless people.
82:5  “None of you know or understand a thing. You live in darkness, while the foundations of the earth tremble.
82:6  “I, the Most High God, say that all of you are gods and also my own children.
82:7  But you will die, just like everyone else, including powerful rulers.”
82:8  Do something, God! Judge the nations of the earth; they belong to you.
