Psalm 82:1–8

Psalm 82:1–83 matched frames

Read down to the center, where the pattern turns; then rise back out through its mirror.

A 1 God standeth in the congregation of the mighty; he judgeth among the gods.
- B 2 How long will ye judge unjustly, and accept the persons of the wicked? Selah.
  - C 3-4 Defend the poor and fatherless: do justice to the afflicted and needy. 4 Deliver the poor and needy: rid them out of the hand of the wicked.
  - C' 5 They know not, neither will they understand; they walk on in darkness: all the foundations of the earth are out of course.
- B' 6-7 I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High. 7 But ye shall die like men, and fall like one of the princes.
A' 8 Arise, O God, judge the earth: for thou shalt inherit all nations.
