PSALM 82
A Psalm of Asaph.
1God#GodHebrew: Elohim standeth in the assembly of ·God#GodHebrew: El he judgeth among the gods. 2How long will ye judge unrighteously, and accept the person of the wicked? Selah. 3Judge the poor and the fatherless, do justice to the afflicted and the destitute; 4Rescue the poor and needy, deliver them out of the hand of the wicked. 5They know not, neither do they understand; they walk on in darkness: all the foundations of the earth are moved.
6I have said, Ye are gods, and all of you are children of the Most High; 7But ye shall die like men, and fall like one of the princes. 8Arise, O God#GodHebrew: Elohim judge the earth; for thou shalt inherit all the nations.
