# Chapter 82
|
||
1 God presides over heaven’s court;
|
||
he pronounces judgment on the heavenly beings:
|
||
2 “How long will you hand down unjust decisions
|
||
by favoring the wicked? Interlude
|
||
3 “Give justice 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!
|
||
They wander about in darkness,
|
||
while the whole world is shaken to the core.
|
||
6 I say, ‘You are gods;
|
||
you are all children of the Most High.
|
||
7 But you will die like mere mortals
|
||
and fall like every other ruler.’”
|
||
8 Rise up, O God, and judge the earth,
|
||
for all the nations belong to you. |
