Psalms 82




1.  <<A Psalm of Asaph.>> God standeth * in the congregation of the mighty;he judgeth * among the gods.

2.  How long will ye judge * unjustly, and accept * the persons of the wicked?Selah.

3.  Defend * the poor and fatherless: do justice * to the afflicted and needy * .

4.  Deliver * the poor and needy: rid * them out of the hand of the wicked.

5.  They know * not, neither will they understand * ; they walk * on in darkness:all the foundations of the earth are out of course * .

6.  I have said * , Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High.

7.  But ye shall die * like men, and fall * like one of the princes.

8.  Arise * , O God, judge * the earth: for thou shalt inherit * all nations.
