The Book of Psalms

God presides in the divine assembly; He renders judgment among the gods:

“How long will you judge unjustly

(a)

and show partiality to the wicked?

Selah Defend the cause of the weak and fatherless; uphold the rights of the afflicted and oppressed.

Rescue the weak and needy; save them from the hand of the wicked.

They do not know or understand; they wander in the darkness; all the foundations of the earth are shaken.

I have said, ‘You are gods; you are all sons of the Most High.’(b)

But like mortals you will die, and like rulers you will fall.”

Arise, O God, judge the earth, for all the nations are Your inheritance.

(a)82:2 Or How long will you defend the unjust

(b)82:6 Cited in John 10:34
