THE BOOK OF PSALMS

- Chapter 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.
