Psalms 82

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

A Psalme committed to Aspah. God standeth in the assemblie of gods: hee iudgeth among gods.

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

How long wil ye iudge vniustly, and accept the persons of the wicked? (Selah)

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

Doe right to the poore and fatherlesse: doe iustice to the poore and needie.

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

Deliuer the poore and needie: saue them from the hand of the wicked.

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

They knowe not and vnderstand nothing: they walke in darkenes, albeit all the foundations of the earth be mooued.

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

I haue said, Ye are gods, and ye all are children of the most High.

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

But ye shall die as a man, and yee princes, shall fall like others.

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

O God, arise, therefore iudge thou the earth: for thou shalt inherite all nations.
