Psalm 82:1-8 GNT

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