Psalms 82

Verse 1. 1 A Psalm of Asaph. God standeth in the congregation of the mighty; he judgeth among the gods. Verse 2. 2 How long will ye judge unjustly, and accept the persons of the wicked? Selah. Verse 3. 3 Defend the poor and fatherless: do justice to the afflicted and needy. Verse 4. 4 Deliver the poor and needy: rid them out of the hand of the wicked. Verse 5. 5 They know not, neither will they understand; they walk on in darkness: all the foundations of the earth are out of course. Verse 6. 6 I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High.

Verse 7. 7 But ye shall die like men, and fall like one of the princes. Verse 8. 8 Arise, O God, judge the earth: for thou shalt inherit all nations.
