Psalm 81

(82) A Psalm for Asaph.

1God stands in the assembly of gods; and in the midst of them will judge gods.

2How long will you⌃ judge unrighteously, and accept the persons of sinners? Pause.

3Judge the orphan and poor: 1 do 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, You⌃ are gods; and all of you children of the Most High.

7But you⌃ die as men, and fall as one of the princes.

8Arise, O God, judge the earth: for you shall inherit all nations.
