Psalms, Chapter 82

  
1. God standeth in the congregation of God; He judgeth among the gods.
  
2. How long will ye judge unjustly, And respect the persons of the wicked? [Selah]
  
3. Judge the poor and fatherless: Do justice to the afflicted and destitute.
  
4. Rescue the poor and needy: Deliver them out of the hand of the wicked.
  
5. They know not, neither do they understand; They walk to and fro in darkness: All the foundations of the earth are shaken.
  
6. I said, Ye are gods, And all of you sons of the Most High.
  
7. Nevertheless ye shall die like men, And fall like one of the princes.
  
8. Arise, O God, judge the earth; For thou shalt inherit all the nations.
