The Psalms 82

A Rebuke of Unjust Judgments

A Psalm of Asaph.

God standeth in the congregation of the mighty;

he judgeth among the gods.

How long will ye judge unjustly,

and accept the persons of the wicked?

Selah.

Defend the poor and fatherless:

do justice to the afflicted and needy.

Deliver the poor and needy:

rid them out of the hand of the wicked.

They know not, neither will they understand;

they walk on in darkness:

all the foundations of the earth are out of course.

I have said, Ye are gods; Joh. 10.34

and all of you are children of the Most High.

But ye shall die like men,

and fall like one of the princes.

Arise, O God, judge the earth:

for thou shalt inherit all nations.
