| 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! |
