Psalm 82

Deus stetit

1 GOD standeth in the congregation of princes * he is a Judge among gods.

2 How long will ye give wrong judgement * and accept the persons of the ungodly?

3 Defend the poor and fatherless * see that such as are in need and necessity have right.

4 Deliver the outcast and poor * save them from the hand of the ungodly.

5 They will not be learned nor understand, but walk on still in darkness * all the foundations of the earth are out of course.

6 I have said, Ye are gods * and ye are all the children of the most Highest.

7 But ye shall die like men * and fall like one of the princes.

8 Arise, O God, and judge thou the earth * for thou shalt take all heathen to thine inheritance.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son * and to the Holy Ghost;
As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be * world without end. Amen.
