Psalms 82:2-8

82:2

How long will ye judge
<08199> (8799)

unjustly
<05766>_,

and accept
<05375> (8799)

the persons
<06440>

of the wicked
<07563>_?

Selah
<05542>_.

82:3

Defend
<08199> (8798)

the poor
<01800>

and fatherless
<03490>_:

do justice
<06663> (8685)

to the afflicted
<06041>

and needy
<07326> (8802)_.

{Defend: Heb. Judge}

82:4

Deliver
<06403> (8761)

the poor
<01800>

and needy
<034>_:

rid
<05337> (8685)

[them] out of the hand
<03027>

of the wicked
<07563>_.

82:5

They know
<03045> (8804)

not, neither will they understand
<0995> (8799)_;

they walk
<01980> (8691)

on in darkness
<02825>_:

all the foundations
<04144>

of the earth
<0776>

are out of course
<04131> (8735)_.

{out...: Heb. moved}

82:6

I have said
<0559> (8804)_,

Ye [are] gods
<0430>_;

and all of you [are] children
<01121>

of the most High
<05945>_.

82:7

But
<0403>

ye shall die
<04191> (8799)

like men
<0120>_,

and fall
<05307> (8799)

like one
<0259>

of the princes
<08269>_.

82:8

Arise
<06965> (8798)_,

O God
<0430>_,

judge
<08199> (8798)

the earth
<0776>_:

for thou shalt inherit
<05157> (8799)

all nations
<01471>_.
