Psalm 82:4-6
EasyEnglish Bible
4 Rescue weak and helpless people,
so that evil people cannot hurt them.
5 The powerful leaders know nothing
and they understand nothing.
They walk about in a dark place.
At the same time the foundation of the earth shakes![a]
6 I said, “You are gods.
You are all sons of the Most High God.
