(A psalm by Asaph.)

Please Do Something, God!

1 When all of the other gods

s 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.

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.

4 Rescue the weak and homeless

from the powerful hands

of heartless people.

5 “None of you know

or understand a thing.

You live in darkness,

while the foundations

of the earth tremble.

t 82.5 foundations ... tremble: In ancient times it was believed that the earth was flat and supported by columns.

6 “I, the Most High God, say

82.6 Jn 10.34.

that all of you are gods

u 82.6 all of you are gods: See the note at 82.1.

and also my own children.

7 But you will die,

just like everyone else,

including powerful rulers.”

8 Do something, God!

Judge the nations of the earth;

they belong to you.
