PSALM 82

A Psalm of Asaph

1 God sitteth in the assembly of God: In the midst of the gods he will judge.

2 How long will ye judge unjustly? And the faces of the ungodly will ye lift up? Selah.

3 Judge the poor and the orphan; The helpless and the destitute justify ye.

4 Rescue the poor one and the afflicted one: From the hand of the ungodly ones deliver them.

5 But they know not, neither do they understand any thing: In darkness they walk, Although moved are all the foundations of the earth.

6 As for me, I have said, "Ye are gods, "And children of the Most High all of you:

7 "Surely as a man ye shall die; "And as one [of the people,] O princes! ye shall fall."

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