82:3 Defend the cause of the poor and the fatherless! 1
Vindicate the oppressed and suffering!
82:4 Rescue the poor and needy!
Deliver them from the power 2 of the wicked!
82:5 They 3 neither know nor understand.
They stumble 4 around in the dark,
while all the foundations of the earth crumble. 5
82:6 I thought, 6 ‘You are gods;
all of you are sons of the Most High.’ 7
82:7 Yet you will die like mortals; 8
you will fall like all the other rulers.” 9
82:8 Rise up, O God, and execute judgment on the earth!
For you own 10 all the nations.
