Psalm 82:1-8
A Melody of Asaph.
82 God hath taken his place in the august assembly, In the midst of the gods will he judge.
2 How long will ye judge perversely And the countenances of the lawless uplift? [Selah.
3 Vindicate the weak and the fatherless, The oppressed and the poor see righted;
4 Deliver the weak and the needy, Out of the hand of the lawless make rescue.
5 They know not, neither can they perceive, In darkness they wander, All the foundations of the earth do shake!
6 I said, Gods ye are, Yea sons of the Highest are ye all;
7 But indeed like the earth-born shall ye die! And like one of the princes shall ye fall!
8 Arise! O God, judge thou the earth, For thou wilt inherit all the nations.
