[:en]Thoughts from Psalm 82[:]

[:en]God is the ultimate judge.  He presides in the great assembly and gives judgment among the gods (v. 1).  He admonishes the judges not to show partiality but to defend the cause of the weak and fatherless and maintain the rights of the poor and oppressed (v. 3).  He told them to rescue the weak and needy and deliver them from the hand of the wicked (v. 4). The rulers and judges will one day die and fall like every other rulers- (vs. 6-7).  Finally, God will judge the earth when he comes (v. 8).   In the meantime, let us obey His words and live a holy life.[:]
