Defend the cause of the weak and fatherless; maintain the rights of the poor and oppressed. |
| 82:4 |
Rescue the weak and needy; deliver them from the hand of the wicked. |
| 82:5 |
"They know nothing, they understand nothing. They walk about in darkness; all the foundations of the earth are shaken. |
| 82:6 |
"I said, 'You are "gods"; you are all sons of the Most High.' |
| 82:7 |
But you will die like mere men; you will fall like every other ruler." |
| 82:8 |
Rise up, O God, judge the earth, for all the nations are your inheritance. |
