Psalms - Chapter 82 | American Standard Version

  • 1. A Psalm of Asaph. God standeth in the congregation of God; He judgeth among the gods.
  • 2. How long will ye judge unjustly, And respect the persons of the wicked? {cf15i Selah.}
  • 3. Judge the poor and fatherless: Do justice to the afflicted and destitute.
  • 4. Rescue the poor and needy: Deliver them out of the hand of the wicked.
  • 5. They know not, neither do they understand; They walk to and fro in darkness: All the foundations of the earth are shaken.
  • 6. I said, Ye are gods, And all of you sons of the Most High.
  • 7. Nevertheless ye shall die like men, And fall like one of the princes.
  • 8. Arise, O God, judge the earth; For thou shalt inherit all the nations.
