1750 Challoner Revision of the Douay-Rheims (DR)

1 The psalmist, having exhorted the judges, 5 and reproved their negligence, 8 prayeth God to judge.

82:1 ¶ A psalm for Asaph. God hath stood in the congregation of gods: and being in the midst of them he judgeth gods.

82:2 How long will you judge unjustly: and accept the persons of the wicked?

82:3 Judge for the needy and fatherless: do justice to the humble and the poor.

82:4 Rescue the poor; and deliver the needy out of the hand of the sinner.

82:5 They have not known nor understood: they walk on in darkness: all the foundations of the earth shall be moved.

82:6 I have said: You are gods and all of you the sons of the most High.

82:7 But you like men shall die: and shall fall like one of the princes.

82:8 Arise, O God, judge thou the earth: for thou shalt inherit among all the nations.
