God Presides in the Divine Assembly

1(81:1) A Psalm for Asaph. God stands in the assembly of gods; and in the midst of them will judge gods.

2(81:2) How long will ye judge unrighteously, and accept the persons of sinners? Pause.

3(81:3) Judge the orphan and poor: do justice to the low and needy.

4(81:4) Rescue the needy, and deliver the poor out of the hand of the sinner.

5(81:5) They know not, nor understand; they walk on in darkness: all the foundations of the earth shall be shaken.

6(81:6) I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you children of the Most High.

7(81:7) But ye die as men, and fall as one of the princes.

8(81:8) Arise, O God, judge the earth: for thou shalt inherit all nations.
