Psalm 82

When all the gods have come together
the Lord God judges them and says :
'How long will you keep judging unfairly
and favouring evil people?
Be fair to the poor and to orphans.
Defend the helpless and everyone in need.
Rescue the weak and homeless
from the powerful hands of heartless people.

None of you know or understand a thing.
You live in darkness,
while the foundations of the earth tremble.

I, the Most High God, say that all of you are gods
and also my own children.
But you will die, just like everyone else,
including powerful rulers."

Do something, God! Judge the nations of the earth;
they belong to you.
