(8) When the Most High gave nations their homes
And set the divisions of man, He fixed the boundaries of peoples
In relation to Israel’s numbers. (9) For the LORD’s portion is His people,
Jacob His own allotment.

(17) When he returned from defeating Chedorlaomer and the kings with him, the king of Sodom came out to meet him in the Valley of Shaveh, which is the Valley of the King. (18) And King Melchizedek of Salem brought out bread and wine; he was a priest of God Most High. (19) He blessed him, saying, “Blessed be Abram of God Most High, Creator of heaven and earth.
(נו) וַיְנַסּ֣וּ וַ֭יַּמְרוּ אֶת־אֱלֹקִ֣ים עֶלְי֑וֹן וְ֝עֵדוֹתָ֗יו לֹ֣א שָׁמָֽרוּ׃
(56) Yet they defiantly tested God Most High, and did not observe His decrees.
(נו) וַיְנַסּ֣וּ וַ֭יַּמְרוּ אֶת־אֱלֹקִ֣ים - עֶלְי֑וֹן וְ֝עֵדוֹתָ֗יו; לֹ֣א שָׁמָֽרוּ׃
(56) Yet they defiantly tested the gods - Elyon and His assemblies; they did not not honor [them].

But Abram said to the king of Sodom, “I swear to the LORD, God Most High, Creator of heaven and earth:

(1) A psalm of Asaph. God stands in the divine assembly; among the divine beings He pronounces judgment. (2) How long will you judge perversely, showing favor to the wicked? Selah. (3) Judge the wretched and the orphan, vindicate the lowly and the poor, (4) rescue the wretched and the needy; save them from the hand of the wicked. (5) They neither know nor understand, they go about in darkness; all the foundations of the earth totter. (6) I had taken you for divine beings, sons of the Most High, all of you; (7) but you shall die as men do, fall like any prince. (8) Arise, O God, judge the earth, for all the nations are Your possession.
