Bay Psalm BookPsalm 82

Only Version CM · 8·6·8·6

A Psalm of Asaph.

1 The mighty God doth stand within th’ assembly of the strong: and he it is that righteously doth judge the gods among. 2 How long a time is it that ye will judge unrighteously, and will accept the countenance of those that wicked be? Selah.

3 See that ye do defend the poor, also the fatherless: unto the needy justice do, and that are in distress. 4 The wasted poor, and those that are needy deliver ye; and them redeem out of the hand of such as wicked be.

5 They know not, nor will understand, in darkness they walk on: all the foundations of the earth quite out of course are gone. 6 I said that ye are gods, and sons of th’ highest ye are all. 7 But ye shall die like men, and like one of the princes fall.

8 That thou may’st judge the earth, O God, do thou thyself advance; for thou shalt have the nations for thine inheritance.
