Psalm 82

1 {a psalm of asaph } god standeth in the congregation of the mighty; he judgeth among the gods 2 how long will ye judge unjustly, and accept the persons of the wicked? selah 3 defend the poor and fatherless do justice to the afflicted and needy 4 deliver the poor and needy rid them out of the hand of the wicked 5 they know not, neither will they understand; they walk on in darkness all the foundations of the earth are out of course 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 nations
