1(82) A Psalm for Asaph. God stands in the assembly of gods; and in the midst [of them] will judge gods.
1God standeth in the congregation of the mighty; he judgeth among the gods.
2How long will you⌃ judge unrighteously, and accept the persons of sinners? Pause.
2How long will ye judge unjustly, and accept the persons of the wicked? Selah.
3Judge the orphan and poor : do justice to the low and needy.
3Defend the poor and fatherless: do justice to the afflicted and needy.
4Rescue the needy, and deliver the poor out of the hand of the sinner.
4Deliver the poor and needy: rid them out of the hand of the wicked.
5They know not, nor understand; they walk on in darkness: all the foundations of the earth shall be shaken.
5They know not, neither will they understand; they walk on in darkness: all the foundations of the earth are out of course.
6I have said, You⌃ are gods; and all [of you] children of the Most High.
6I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High.
7But you⌃ die as men, and fall as one of the princes.
7But ye shall die like men, and fall like one of the princes.
8Arise, O God, judge the earth: for you shall inherit all nations.
8Arise, O God, judge the earth: for thou shalt inherit all nations.
