‏ Psalms 82:8

8 Rise up, O God, and execute judgment on the earth!
For you own ^{▼▼tn The translation assumes that the Qal of נָחַל (nakhal) here means “to own; to possess,” and that the imperfect emphasizes a general truth. Another option is to translate the verb as future, “for you will take possession of all the nations” (cf. NIV “all the nations are your inheritance”).} all the nations.
