| Chapter 82 |
1 |
-- A Psalm of Asaph. God hath stood in the company of God, In the midst God doth judge. --
|
2 |
Till when do ye judge perversely? And the face of the wicked lift up? Selah. --
|
3 |
Judge ye the weak and fatherless, The afflicted and the poor declare righteous. --
|
4 |
Let the weak and needy escape, From the hand of the wicked deliver them. --
|
5 |
They knew not, nor do they understand, In darkness they walk habitually, Moved are all the foundations of earth. --
|
6 |
I -- I have said, 'Gods ye [are], And sons of the Most High -- all of you, --
|
7 |
But as man ye die, and as one of the heads ye fall, --
|
8 |
Rise, O God, judge the earth, For Thou hast inheritance among all the nations! --
