Psalms 82
1A Psalme committed to Aspah. God standeth in the assemblie of gods: hee iudgeth among gods.
2How long wil ye iudge vniustly, and accept the persons of the wicked? Selah.
3Doe right to the poore and fatherlesse: doe iustice to the poore and needie.
4Deliuer the poore and needie: saue them from the hand of the wicked.
5They knowe not and vnderstand nothing: they walke in darkenes, albeit all the foundations of the earth be mooued.
6I haue said, Ye are gods, and ye all are children of the most High.
7But ye shall die as a man, and yee princes, shall fall like others.
8O God, arise, therefore iudge thou the earth: for thou shalt inherite all nations.
Psalms 82
1God standeth in the congregation of the mighty; he judgeth among the gods.
2How long will ye judge unjustly, and accept the persons of the wicked? Selah.
3Defend the poor and fatherless: do justice to the afflicted and needy.
4Deliver the poor and needy: rid them out of the hand of the wicked.
5They know not, neither will they understand; they walk on in darkness: all the foundations of the earth are out of course.
6I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High.
7But ye shall die like men, and fall like one of the princes.
8Arise, O God, judge the earth: for thou shalt inherit all nations.
