Psalm 82

New Coverdale Version

God stands in the council of princes; * he is a Judge among gods.

“How long will you give wrong judgment * and accept the ungodly?

Defend the poor and fatherless; * see that those who are in need and necessity have what is right.

Deliver the outcast and poor; * save them from the hand of the ungodly.”

They will not learn nor understand, but walk about in darkness; * all the foundations of the earth are shaken.

I have said, “You are gods, * and you are all the children of the Most High;

But you shall die like mortals, * and fall like one of the princes.”

Arise, O God, and judge the earth, * for you shall take all nations for your inheritance.
