Deus stetit.
An exhortation to judges and men in power.
81:1. A psalm for Asaph. God hath stood in the congregation of gods: and
being in the midst of them he judgeth gods.
81:2. How long will you judge unjustly: and accept the persons of the
wicked?
81:3. Judge for the needy and fatherless: do justice to the humble and
the poor.
81:4. Rescue the poor; and deliver the needy out of the hand of the
sinner.
81:5. They have not known nor understood: they walk on in darkness: all
the foundations of the earth shall be moved.
81:6. I have said: You are gods and all of you the sons of the most
High.
81:7. But you like men shall die: and shall fall like one of the
princes.
81:8. Arise, O God, judge thou the earth: for thou shalt inherit among
all the nations.
