Psalm 82

King James Version

1 A Psalm of Asaph. God standeth in the congregation of the mighty; he judgeth among the gods. 

2 How long will ye judge unjustly, and accept the persons of the wicked? Selah. 

3 Defend the poor and fatherless: do justice to the afflicted and needy. 

4 Deliver the poor and needy: rid them out of the hand of the wicked. 

5 They know not, neither will they understand; they walk on in darkness: all the foundations of the earth are out of course. 

6 I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High. 

7 But ye shall die like men, and fall like one of the princes. 

8 Arise, O God, judge the earth: for thou shalt inherit all nations.
