PSALM 82
Common Meter: 8,6,8,6
A Psalm of Asaph.
1In gods' assembly God doth stand;
he judgeth gods among.
2How long, accepting persons vile,
will ye give judgment wrong?
3Defend the poor and fatherless;
to poor oppress'd do right.
4The poor and needy ones set free;
rid them from ill men's might.
5They know not, nor will understand;
in darkness they walk on:
All the foundations of the earth
out of their course are gone.
6I said that ye are gods, and are
sons of the Highest all:
7But ye shall die like men, and as
one of the princes fall.
8O God, do thou raise up thyself,
the earth to judgment call:
For thou, as thine inheritance,
shalt take the nations all.

Psalms 82
82
A Psalm (sacred song about or to God) of Asaph [Gatherer].
1God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] stands in the congregation of the mighty; he among the gods.
2How long will you2f judge unjustly, and accept the persons of the wicked? Selah [stop and diligently consider what was just said].
3Defend the poor and fatherless: do justice to the afflicted and needy.
4Deliver the poor and needy: rid [them] out of the hand of the wicked.
5They know not, neither will they understand; they walk on in darkness: all the foundations of the earth are out of course.
6I have said, You2f [are] gods; and all of you [are] children of the most High.
7But you2f shall die like men, and fall like one of the princes.
8Arise, O God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered], judge the earth: for youi shall inherit all nations.
