Psalm 82 Deus stetit
1 God takes her stand in the coun-cil of hea-ven; *
she gives judgment in the midst of the gods:
2 “How long will you judge un-just-ly, *
and show favor to the wic-ked?
3 Save the weak and the or-phan; *
defend the hum-ble and need-y;
4 Rescue the weak and the poor; *
deliver them from the power of the wic-ked.
5 They do not know, neither do they understand; they go a-bout in dark-ness; *
all the foundations of the earth are sha-ken.
6 Now I say to you, ‘You are gods, *
and all of you children of the Most High;
7 Nevertheless, you shall die like mor-tals, *
and fall like an-y prince.'”
8 Arise, O God, and rule the earth, *
for you shall take all nations for your own.
Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Ho-ly Spir-it: *
as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be for ev-er. A-men.
