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.
