Psalm 82

¹ In gods' assembly God doth stand; he judgeth gods among.

² How long, accepting persons vile, will ye give judgment wrong?

³ Defend the poor and fatherless; to poor oppress'd do right.

⁴ The poor and needy ones set free; rid them from ill men's might.

⁵ They know not, nor will understand; in darkness they walk on: All the foundations of the earth out of their course are gone.

⁶ I said that ye are gods, and are sons of the Highest all:

⁷ But ye shall die like men, and as one of the princes fall.

⁸ O God, do thou raise up thyself, the earth to judgment call: For thou, as thine inheritance, shalt take the nations all.
