Psalms 82:1

God standeth in the congregation of the mighty; he judgeth among the gods.

God rules over all and stands in the congregation of the mighty, presiding in the assembly of earthly rulers and judges who exercise authority, judging among them and holding them accountable. All who judge and rule serve under Him. Because they serve under Him, they are bound to protect the rights and liberties of every person. They are to defend the poor and the fatherless, to do justice to the afflicted and needy, and to deliver and rescue them out of the hand of the wicked.
