Psalms82

God Judges the Judges

^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.
