82 God presides in the heavenly council;
    in the assembly of the gods he gives his decision:
² “You must stop judging unjustly;
    you must no longer be partial to the wicked!
³ Defend the rights of the poor and the orphans;
    be fair to the needy and the helpless.
⁴ Rescue them from the power of evil people.
