Psalm 81
1 A Psalm for Asaph.
God standeth in the assembly of gods;
and in the midst of them will judge gods.
2 How long will ye judge unrighteously,
and accept the persons of sinners?
Pause.
3 Judge the orphan and poor:
[1]do justice to the low and needy.
4 Rescue the needy, and deliver the poor
out of the hand of the sinner.
5 They know not, nor understand;
they walk on in darkness:
all the foundations of the earth shall be shaken.
6 [2]I have said, Ye are gods;
and all of you children of the Most High.
7 But ye die as men,
and fall as one of the princes.
8 Arise, O God, judge the earth:
for thou shalt inherit all nations.
