| 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!
