Psalm 82
A psalm by Asaph.
1God takes his place in his own assembly.
He pronounces judgment among the gods:
2“How long are you going to judge unfairly?
How long are you going to side with wicked people?” Selah
3Defend weak people and orphans.
Protect the rights of the oppressed and the poor.
4Rescue weak and needy people.
Help them escape the power of wicked people.
5Wicked people do not know or understand anything.
As they walk around in the dark,
all the foundations of the earth shake.
6I said, “You are gods.
You are all sons of the Most High.
7You will certainly die like humans
and fall like any prince.”
8Arise, O God!
Judge the earth, because all the nations belong to you.

God the Supreme Ruler#Ps 82 Hebrew title: A psalm by Asaph.
1God 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!
3Defend the rights of the poor and the orphans;
be fair to the needy and the helpless.
4Rescue them from the power of the wicked.
5“How ignorant you are! How stupid!
You are completely corrupt,
and justice has disappeared from the world.

Jn 10.34
‘You are gods,’ I said;
‘all of you are children of the Most High.’
7But you will die like mortals;
your life will end like that of any prince.”
8Come, O God, and rule the world;
all the nations are yours.
