A Psalm of Asaph.God standeth in the congregation of God;He judgeth among the gods.
How long will ye judge unjustly,And respect the persons of the wicked? [Selah
Judge the {Or, weak}poor and fatherless:Do justice to the afflicted and destitute.
Rescue the {Or, weak}poor and needy:Deliver them out of the hand of the wicked.
They know not, neither do they understand;They walk to and fro in darkness:All the foundations of the earth are shaken.
I said, Ye are gods,And all of you sons of the Most High.
Nevertheless ye shall die like men,And fall like one of the princes.
Arise, O God, judge the earth;For thou shalt inherit all the nations.
With my soul have I desired thee in the night; yea, with my spirit within me will I seek thee earnestly: for when thy judgments are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world learn righteousness.
Then cometh the end, when he shall deliver up the kingdom to {Greek: the God and Father.}God, even the Father; when he shall have abolished all rule and all authority and power.
Thou shalt not revile {Or, the judges}God, nor curse a ruler of thy people.
Jesus answered them, Many good works have I showed you from the Father; for which of those works do ye stone me?
The Jews answered him, For a good work we stone thee not, but for blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself God.
Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, {Psalm 82:6}I said, Ye are gods?
If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came (and the scripture cannot be broken),
say ye of him, whom the Father {Or, consecrated}sanctified and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest; because I said, I am the Son of God?
If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not.
But if I do them, though ye believe not me, believe the works: that ye may know and understand that the Father is in me, and I in the Father.
Let every soul be in subjection to the higher powers: for there is no power but of God; and the powers that be are ordained of God.
