82 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.
