Psalms 82

1✦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.
