The True God stands to preside over the heavenly council.
He pronounces judgment on the so-called gods.
He asks: “How long will you judge dishonestly
and be partial to the wicked?”
“Stand up for the poor and the orphan;
advocate for the rights of the afflicted and those in need.
Deliver the poor and the needy;
rescue them from their evil oppressors.”
These bullies are ignorant; they have no understanding of My ways.
So as they walk in darkness,
the foundations of the earth tremble.
I said, “Though you are gods
and children of the Most High,
You will die no differently than any mortal;
you will fall like one of the princes.”
Rise up, O True God; judge the rulers of the earth,
for all the nations are Yours.
Psalm 82
