Psalms 82:1-8

Thomson(i) 1 A Psalm by Asaph. GOD standeth in the assembly of gods and in the midst he judgeth gods. 2 [J] How long will you judge unjustly; and respect the persons of sinners? [[J] Jehovah [p] the prophet or psalmist.] 3 Do justice to the fatherless and the afflicted; Justify the lowly and the needy. 4 Rescue the needy and deliver the afflicted out of the sinner's hand. 5 They did not know; nor did they understand. They walked on in darkness. All the foundations of the land shall be shaken. 6 I said you are gods; and all sons of the Most High: 7 but you shall die like men; and fall like one of the chiefs, 8 [p] Arise, God, judge the land thyself: for thou shalt inherit all the nations.
