Psalms 82

1[A Psalm of Asaph.] Elohim standeth in the congregation of the mighty; he judgeth among the gods. 2How long will ye judge unjustly, and accept the persons of the wicked? Selah. 3Defend the poor and fatherless: do justice to the afflicted and needy. 4Deliver the poor and needy: rid out of the hand of the wicked. 5They know not, neither will they understand; they walk on in darkness: all the foundations of the earth are out of course. 6I have said, Ye gods; and all of you children of the most High. 7But ye shall die like men, and fall like one of the princes. 8Arise, O Elohim, judge the earth: for you shall inherit all nations.
