Psalms 82

KING JAMES BIBLE	NEW JERUSALEM
1 God standeth in the congregation of the mighty; he judgeth among the gods.	1 [Psalm Of Asaph] God takes his stand in the divine assembly, surrounded by the gods he givesjudgement.
2 How long will ye judge unjustly, and accept the persons of the wicked? Selah.	2 'How much longer wil you give unjust judgements and uphold the prestige of the wicked?
3 Defend the poor and fatherless: do justice to the afflicted and needy.	3 Let the weak and the orphan have justice, be fair to the wretched and the destitute.Pause
4 Deliver the poor and needy: rid them out of the hand of the wicked.	4 'Rescue the weak and the needy, save them from the clutches of the wicked.
5 They know not, neither will they understand; they walk on in darkness: all the foundations of the earth are out of course.	5 'Ignorant and uncomprehending, they wander in darkness, while the foundations of the world aretottering.
6 I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High.	6 I had thought, "Are you gods, are al of you sons of the Most High?"
7 But ye shall die like men, and fall like one of the princes.	7 No! you wil die as human beings do, as one man, princes, you will fal .'
8 Arise, O God, judge the earth: for thou shalt inherit all nations.	8 Arise, God, judge the world, for al nations belong to you.
