Psalm 82:1-3
Contemporary English Version

(A psalm by Asaph.)

Please Do Something, God!

1 When all the other gods[a]
    have come together,
the Lord God judges them
    and says:
2 “How long will you
keep judging unfairly
    and favoring evil people?
3 Be fair to the poor
    and to orphans.
Defend the helpless
    and everyone in need.

Footnotes

  1. 82.1 the other gods: This probably refers to the gods of the nations that God defeated, but it could refer to God's servants (angels) in heaven or even to human rulers.
