Psalm 81

1A Psalm for Asaph.

God stands in the assembly of gods; and in the midst of them will judge gods.

2How long will ye judge unrighteously, and accept the persons of sinners? Pause. 3Judge the orphan and poor: 1do justice to the low and needy. 4Rescue the needy, and deliver the poor out of the hand of the sinner.

5They know not, nor understand; they walk on in darkness: all the foundations of the earth shall be shaken. 6I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you children of the Most High. 7But ye die as men, and fall as one of the princes.

8Arise, O God, judge the earth: for thou shalt inherit all nations.
