82:1 God stands up to open heaven’s court. He pronounces judgment on the judges.
82:2 How long will you judges refuse to listen to the evidence? How long will you shower special favors on the wicked?
82:3 Give fair judgment to the poor man, the afflicted, the fatherless, the destitute.
82:4 Rescue the poor and helpless from the grasp of evil men.
82:5 But you are so foolish and so ignorant! Because you are in darkness, all the foundations of society are shaken to the core.
82:6 I have called you all “gods” and “sons of the Most High.”
82:7 But in death you are mere men. You will fall as any prince—for all must die.
82:8 Stand up, O God, and judge the earth. For all of it belongs to you. All nations are in your hands.
