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 of Asaph.
1God standeth in the congregation of God;
He judgeth among the gods.
2How long will ye judge unjustly,
And respect the persons of the wicked? Selah
3Judge the poor and fatherless:
Do justice to the afflicted and destitute.
4Rescue the poor and needy:
Deliver them out of the hand of the wicked.
5They know not, neither do they understand;
They walk to and fro in darkness:
All the foundations of the earth are moved.
6I said, Ye are gods,
And all of you sons of the Most High.
7Nevertheless ye shall die like men,
And fall like one of the princes.
8Arise, O God, judge the earth:
For thou shalt inherit all the nations.
