Psalm 82

1God sitteth in the assembly of God: In the midst of the gods he will judge.

2How long will ye judge unjustly? And the faces of the ungodly will ye lift up? Selah.

3Judge the poor and the orphan; The helpless and the destitute justify ye.

4Rescue the poor one and the afflicted one: From the hand of the ungodly ones deliver them

5But they know not, neither do they understand any thing: In darkness they walk, Although moved are all the foundations of the earth.

6As for me, I have said, “Ye are gods, “And children of the Most High all of you:

7“Surely as a man ye shall die; “And as one [of the people,] O princes! ye shall fall.”

8Arise, O God! judge the earth: For thou shalt inherit all nations.
