Psalm 82

Darby Translation

A Psalm of Asaph.

82 God standeth in the assembly of God, he judgeth among the gods.

² How long will ye judge unrighteously, and accept the person of the wicked? Selah.

³ Judge the poor and the fatherless, do justice to the afflicted and the 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 on in darkness: all the foundations of the earth are moved.

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 the nations.
