Psalms



Psalm 82

A Psalm of Asaph.

   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.
