Psalms 82:1-8

¹A Psalm of Asaph. God standeth in the congregation of God; He judgeth among the gods.

²How long will ye judge unjustly, And respect the persons of the wicked? Selah

³Judge the poor and fatherless: Do justice to the afflicted and destitute.

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

⁵They know not, neither do they understand; They walk to and fro in darkness: All the foundations of the earth are shaken.

⁶I said, Ye are gods, And all of you sons of the Most High.

⁷Nevertheless ye shall die like men, And fall like one of the princes.

⁸Arise, O God, judge the earth; For thou shalt inherit all the nations.
