Psalm 82

New International Version

² “How long will you^[a]defend the unjust
    and show partiality^(C)to the wicked?^[b](D)
3 Defend the weak and the fatherless;^(E)
    uphold the cause of the poor^(F)and the oppressed.
⁴ Rescue the weak and the needy;
    deliver them from the hand of the wicked.

⁵ “The ‘gods’ know nothing, they understand nothing.^(G)
    They walk about in darkness;^(H)
    all the foundations^(I)of the earth are shaken.

⁶ “I said, ‘You are “gods”;^(J)
    you are all sons of the Most High.’
⁷ But you will die^(K)like mere mortals;
    you will fall like every other ruler.”

⁸ Rise up,^(L)O God, judge^(M)the earth,
    for all the nations are your inheritance.^(N)
