82 God standeth in the congregation of the mighty; he judgeth among the gods.

³⁵ If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken;

⁶ And said to the judges, Take heed what ye do: for ye judge not for man, but for the Lord, who is with you in the judgment.

⁷ Wherefore now let the fear of the Lord be upon you; take heed and do it: for there is no iniquity with the Lord our God, nor respect of persons, nor taking of gifts.

⁶ I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High.

⁷ But ye shall die like men, and fall like one of the princes.

¹³ The Lord standeth up to plead, and standeth to judge the people.

⁸ If thou seest the oppression of the poor, and violent perverting of judgment and justice in a province, marvel not at the matter: for he that is higher than the highest regardeth; and there be higher than they.

¹¹ So that a man shall say, Verily there is a reward for the righteous: verily he is a God that judgeth in the earth.

138 I will praise thee with my whole heart: before the gods will I sing praise unto thee.

²⁸ Thou shalt not revile the gods, nor curse the ruler of thy people.

⁶ Then his master shall bring him unto the judges; he shall also bring him to the door, or unto the door post; and his master shall bore his ear through with an aul; and he shall serve him for ever.
