Psalms 82:7

5 They do not know or understand; they wander in the darkness; all the foundations of the earth are shaken.

6 I have said, ‘You are gods; you are all sons of the Most High.’

But like mortals you will die, and like rulers you will fall.”

8 Arise, O God, judge the earth, for all the nations are Your inheritance.

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
