KJV : Psalms 82

verses:

1. 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.

verses:

1. <A Psalm. Of Asaph.> God is in the meeting-place of God; he is judging among the gods.

2. How long will you go on judging falsely, having respect for the persons of evil-doers? (Selah.)

3. Give ear to the cause of the poor and the children without fathers; let those who are troubled and in need have their rights.

4. Be the saviour of the poor and those who have nothing: take them out of the hand of the evil-doers.

5. They have no knowledge or sense; they go about in the dark: all the bases of the earth are moved.

6. I said, You are gods; all of you are the sons of the Most High:

7. But you will come to death like men, falling like one of the rulers of the earth.

8. Up! O God, come as judge of the earth; for all the nations are your heritage.
