Psalm 81 - Douay-Rheims version of The Bible - 1752 version

PSALM 81.

¹ A psalm for Asaph. God hath stood in the congregation of gods: and being in the midst of them he judgeth gods.

² How long will you judge unjustly: and accept the persons of the wicked?

³ Judge for the needy and fatherless: do justice to the humble and the poor.

⁴ Rescue the poor; and deliver the needy out of the hand of the sinner.

⁵ They have not known nor understood: they walk on in darkness: all the foundations of the earth shall be moved.

⁶ I have said: You are gods and all of you the sons of the most High.

⁷ But you like men shall die: and shall fall like one of the princes.

⁸ Arise, O God, judge thou the earth: for thou shalt inherit among all the nations.
