Psalm 82 : Common English Bible (2011) - a fresh translation to touch the heart and the mind

a Psalm of Asaph / / /
God takes his stand in the divine council;
he gives judgment among the gods:
"How long will you judge unjustly
by granting favor to the wicked?            SELAH.
Give justice to the lowly and the orphan;
maintain the right of the poor and the destitute!
Rescue the lowly and the needy.
Deliver them from the power of the wicked!"

They don't know; they don't understand;
they wander around in the dark.
All the earth's foundations shake.

I hereby declare, "You are gods,
children of the Most High -- all of you!
But you will die like mortals;
you will fall down like any prince."

Rise up, God! Judge the earth
because you hold all nations in your possession!
