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
1A Psalme committed to Aspah. God standeth in the assemblie of gods: hee iudgeth among gods. 2How long wil ye iudge vniustly, and accept the persons of the wicked? Selah. 3Doe right to the poore and fatherlesse: doe iustice to the poore and needie. 4Deliuer the poore and needie: saue them from the hand of the wicked. 5They knowe not and vnderstand nothing: they walke in darkenes, albeit all the foundations of the earth be mooued. 6I haue said, Ye are gods, and ye all are children of the most High. 7But ye shall die as a man, and yee princes, shall fall like others. 8O God, arise, therefore iudge thou the earth: for thou shalt inherite all nations.
