New Living Translation
Psalms • Chapter 82
1
God (Elohim) presides over heaven’s court;<br>he pronounces judgment on the heavenly beings:<br>
2
“How long will you hand down unjust decisions<br>by favoring the wicked? <i>Interlude</i><br>
3
“Give justice to the poor and the orphan;<br>uphold the rights of the oppressed and the destitute.<br>
4
Rescue the poor and helpless;<br>deliver them from the grasp of evil people.<br>
5
But these oppressors know nothing;<br>they are so ignorant!<br>They wander about in darkness,<br>while the whole world is shaken to the core.<br>
6
I say, ‘You are gods;<br>you are all children of the Most High.<br>
7
But you will die like mere mortals<br>and fall like every other ruler.’”<br>
8
Rise up, O God (Elohim), and judge the earth,<br>for all the nations belong to you.<br>
