CHAP. LXXXII.
1 The Psalmist hauing exhorted the Iudges, 5 and reproued their negligence, 8 prayeth God to iudge.
1 [A Psalme of Asaph.] God standeth in the Congregation of the mightie: hee iudgeth among the gods.
2 How long will yee iudge vniustly: and accept the persons of the wicked? Selah.2
3 Defend the poore and fatherlesse: doe iustice to the afflicted and needie.3
4 Deliuer the poore and needy: rid them out of the hand of the wicked.4
5 They know not, neither wil they vnderstand; they walke on in darknes: all the foundations of the earth are out of course.5
6 I haue said, Ye are gods: and all of you are children of the most High:6
7 But ye shall die like men, and fall like one of the Princes.
8 Arise, O God, iudge the earth: for thou shalt inherite all nations.
