Book - Psalms - Chapter = 82 --> NLT

1. God presides over heaven's court; he pronounces judgment on the judges:
   
2. "How long will you judges hand down unjust decisions? How long will you shower special favors on the wicked?
   
3. "Give fair judgment to the poor and the orphan; uphold the rights of the oppressed and the destitute.
   
4. Rescue the poor and helpless; deliver them from the grasp of evil people.
   
5. But these oppressors know nothing; they are so ignorant! And because they are in darkness, the whole world is shaken to the core.
   
6. I say, `You are gods and children of the Most High.
   
7. But in death you are mere men. You will fall as any prince, for all must die.'"
   
8. Rise up, O God, and judge the earth, for all the nations belong to you.
