God takes His seat in judgement
The charges are read
The verdict is given
The sentence is pronounced

Psalms 82A Psalm of Asaph.

82:1   God has taken his place in the divine council;    in the midst of the gods he holds judgment:2   “How long will you judge unjustly    and show partiality to the wicked? Selah3   Give justice to the weak and the fatherless;    maintain the right of the afflicted and the destitute.4   Rescue the weak and the needy;    deliver them from the hand of the wicked.”

5   They have neither knowledge nor understanding,    they walk about in darkness;    all the foundations of the earth are shaken.

6   I said, “You are gods,    sons of the Most High, all of you;7   nevertheless, like men you shall die,    and fall like any prince.”

8   Arise, O God, judge the earth;    for you shall inherit all the nations!
(ESV)
