Psalms 82:1-8

Brenton(i) 1 (81:1) A Psalm for Asaph. God stands in the assembly of gods; and in the midst of them will judge gods. 2 (81:2) How long will ye judge unrighteously, and accept the persons of sinners? Pause. 3 (81:3) Judge the orphan and poor: do justice to the low and needy. 4 (81:4) Rescue the needy, and deliver the poor out of the hand of the sinner. 5 (81:5) They know not, nor understand; they walk on in darkness: all the foundations of the earth shall be shaken. 6 (81:6) I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you children of the Most High. 7 (81:7) But ye die as men, and fall as one of the princes. 8 (81:8) Arise, O God, judge the earth: for thou shalt inherit all nations.
