CHAPTER 82

You are gods
Good Stuff 82:1-8

A Psalm of Asaph.

 

1God 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.

God judges among the gods. [1]

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

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

Help the poor and needy.

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

The earth is shaking on its foundations. [2]

6I 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.

I have said, "You are gods." [3]

You are all children of the most high. [4]
