Psalm 82

Deus stetit

  1. GOD standeth in the congregation of princes; he is a Judge among gods.
  2. How long will ye give wrong judgment, and accept the persons of the ungodly?
  3. Defend the poor and fatherless; see that such as are in need and necessity have right.
  4. Deliver the outcast and poor; save them from the hand of the ungodly.
  5. They will not be learned, nor understand, but walk on still in darkness: all the foundations of the earth are out of course.
  6. I have said, Ye are gods, and ye are all the children of the Most Highest.
  7. But ye shall die like men, and fall like one of the princes.
  8. Arise, O God, and judge thou the earth; for thou shalt take all heathen to thine inheritance.
