Psalm 82, verse by verse
Each verse is given twice: first in the King James Version, then in the World Bible Guide plain reading.
God standeth in the congregation of the mighty; he judgeth among the gods.
God is present among the powerful; He passes judgment among the divine.
How long will ye judge unjustly, and accept the persons of the wicked? Selah.
When will you stop favoring the wicked and judging unfairly? Pause and reflect.
Defend the poor and fatherless: do justice to the afflicted and needy.
Stand up for those who are poor and alone; be fair and kind to those who are suffering and in need.
Deliver the poor and needy: rid them out of the hand of the wicked.
Help those in need and the less fortunate; save them from the grasp of evil.
They know not, neither will they understand; they walk on in darkness: all the foundations of the earth are out of course.
They are unaware and refuse to comprehend; they continue their journey in ignorance. The world's fundamental principles are in disarray.
I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High.
I've declared, you are divine beings; each one of you is a cherished child of the Supreme.
But ye shall die like men, and fall like one of the princes.
But you will perish as mere mortals, and tumble down like any nobleman.
Arise, O God, judge the earth: for thou shalt inherit all nations.
Rise up, O Divine, judge the world: for all the nations are yours to inherit.

Hear it read aloud in the iPhone and iPad app, or bring a question about it to Simon Peter, Paul, Philip, John the Baptist, Judas Iscariot or Jesus. When an answer rests on a passage, you see which one. Each person is an interpretation drawn from the text, never the person.
