Psalms

Chapter 81

A Psalm for Asaph. God stands in the assembly of gods; and in the midst of them will judge gods.

How long will ye judge unrighteously, and accept the persons of sinners? Pause.

Judge the orphan and poor: ¹do 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, Ye are gods; and all of you children of the Most High.

But ye die as men, and fall as one of the princes.

Arise, O God, judge the earth: for thou shalt inherit all nations.
