King James Version

Psalms • Chapter 82

1 A psalm for Asaph: God stands in the assembly of God; in the midst of the gods He judges. 2 How long will you judge unjustly and show partiality to the wicked? Selah. 3 Judge the poor and the orphan; uphold the rights of the afflicted and the needy. 4 Rescue the needy and the poor from the hand of the wicked. 5 They do not know and do not understand; in darkness they walk; all the foundations of the earth are shaken. 6 I said, "You are gods, and all of you are sons of the Most High." 7 Indeed, like man you shall die, and like one of the princes you shall fall. 8 Arise, O God, judge the earth, for you shall inherit among all the nations.
