Psalm 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.
