A Psalm of Asaph. |
Psalm 82:1-8 Book# 3 of Psalms [in Smaller Chunks] |
God stands in the congregation of the mighty. He judges among the gods. How long will you judge [unfairly] & accept the persons of the wicked? Selah. |
[Deuteronomy 1:17-18 You shall not respect [& show partiality] [to people] in judgment. But you shall hear the [powerless & the powerful.] You shall not be afraid of the face of man; for the judgment is God's. Bring the [cause] that's too hard to Me & I will hear it. At that time, I commanded you, all the things [that] you should do.] |
Defend the poor & fatherless. Do justice to the afflicted & needy. Deliver the poor & needy & [free] them [from] the [hands] of the wicked? They [don't] know & neither will they understand. They [continue walking] in darkness. |
All the foundations of the earth are [off] course. I have said, You are gods & all of you are children of the Most HIgh. But you shall die like men & fall like one of the princes. |
[Ephesians 2:2-5 In [the previous] time, you walked according to the course of this world & according to the prince of the power of the air & the [evil] spirit that now [works] in the children of disobedience. |
Among whom, in [previous] times, we had our conversation in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the [fleshly] desires & of the mind & by nature were the children of wrath, even [like] others. |
But God, [Who] is rich in mercy for His great love [with which] He loved us, even when we were dead [through] sins & (by grace you are saved:) has [given life to] us together, with Christ.] |
Arise, O God, judge the earth: for You shall inherit all nations. |
