Psalms. 81. (82) A Psalm for Asaph. God stands in the assembly of gods; and in the midst of them will judge gods. How long will you° judge unrighteously, and accept the persons of sinners? Pause. Judge the orphan and poor: do justice to the low and needy. Rescue the needy, and deliver the poor out of the hand of the sinner. They know not, nor understand; they walk on in darkness: all the foundations of the earth shall be shaken. I have said, You° are gods; and all of you children of the Most High. But you° die as men, and fall as one of the princes. Arise, O God, judge the earth: for you shall inherit all nations.
