Psalms

A Melody of Asaph.

82 God hath taken his place in the august assembly, In the midst of the gods will he judge.

2 How long will ye judge perversely And the countenances of the lawless uplift? [Selah.

3 Vindicate the weak and the fatherless, The oppressed and the poor see righted;

4 Deliver the weak and the needy, Out of the hand of the lawless make rescue.

5 They know not, neither can they perceive, In darkness they wander, All the foundations of the earth do shake!

6 I said, Gods ye are, Yea sons of the Highest are ye all;

7 But indeed like the earth-born shall ye die! And like one of the princes shall ye fall!

8 Arise! O God, judge thou the earth, For thou wilt inherit all the nations.
