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.
