Psalm 82. Deus stetit.

1. God takes his stand in the council of heaven; *
   he gives judgment in the midst of the gods:
2. "How long will you judge unjustly, *
   and show favor to the wicked?
3. Save the weak and the orphan; *
   defend the humble and needy;
4. Rescue the weak and the poor; *
   deliver them from the power of the wicked.
5. They do not know, neither do they understand; they go about in darkness; *
   all the foundations of the earth are shaken.
6. Now I say to you, 'You are gods, *
   and all of you children of the Most High;
7. Nevertheless, you shall die like mortals, *
   and fall like any prince.' "
8. Arise, O God, and rule the earth, *
   for you shall take all nations for your own.
