Glenda   --\n\nSince this is your only activity, I do not know if this is a loaded question or not.  For the sake of possible true interest, I will take the time to answer as best as I can.\nI am curious as to why you broke the passage down into two verse segments.  The entire 82nd Psalm is titled A psalm of Asaph.  It is presumed to be written by Asaph, who was a Levite leader of the choir of King David.\n\nVerses 1&2 is the introduction.  Asaph summarizes by saying that Divinity has judged the mighty ones (the elohim).  In this case, he was referring to the court judges, not pagan gods.  This is followed by the results of that Divine judgment, the admonition in the form of a question:  How much longer will you (the judges) favor the wicked with your unfair decisions?\n\nThis is punctuated with the Hebrew word Seleh.  This could be a fanfare or a choral response (or even a verbal equivalent of the Christian Amen).  It is often translated into English as an Interlude.\n\nVerses 3&4 lists the primary failures of the Judges, or at least tells them what they should be doing.  Hebrew use of shame.  Basically it calls for the Judges to stand up for the rights of those with little or no political power: the poor, the orphans, the needy, the afflicted or oppressed.  Help these out of the clutches of wicked.\n\nVerses 5&6 list the position of the wicked oppressors:  they are ignorant and without wisdom.  They are in darkness, but because they do not know this , they shake the entire world.  Again Asaph calls upon the Judges as the mighty ones (elohim), but not reminds them that all of humanity are children of the Most High.\n\nVerses 7&8 sum the concepts saying that even the Judges are men and will pass on.  Divinity will judge the earth and reveal the legacy.\n\nMy Hebrew is a little rusty, so please forgive any minor mistakes. The most confusing part of the text is the use of the word elohim (which is plural) and is similar to the singular form of the word used to address Divinity.  The King James version translates this as the word gods.

While I agree that 7 is a number that represents perfection or completion, I can't find that passage either.  If you'd give your reference, I'd be happy to look at it and give you a better answer.\n\nLOL!  \n\nAh, well there you have it!  I cannot defend made up verses.\n\nMaybe it's in the same version that has "cleanliness is next to Godliness......."

You are looking for Psalms 27. This is very long \n   King James Version (KJV) Psalms - Chapter 27 \n\n Psa 27:1 [[[A Psalm] of David.]] The LORD [is] my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the LORD [is] the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?  \n\n\n Psa 27:2 When the wicked, [even] mine enemies and my foes, came upon me to eat up my flesh, they stumbled and fell.  \n\n\n Psa 27:3 Though an host should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear: though war should rise against me, in this [will] I [be] confident.  \n\n\n Psa 27:4 One [thing] have I desired of the LORD, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the LORD, and to enquire in his temple.  \n\n\n Psa 27:5 For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion: in the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me; he shall set me up upon a rock.  \n\n\n Psa 27:6 And now shall mine head be lifted up above mine enemies round about me: therefore will I offer in his tabernacle sacrifices of joy; I will sing, yea, I will sing praises unto the LORD.  \n\n\n Psa 27:7 Hear, O LORD, [when] I cry with my voice: have mercy also upon me, and answer me.  \n\n\n Psa 27:8 [When thou saidst], Seek ye my face; my heart said unto thee, Thy face, LORD, will I seek.  \n\n\n Psa 27:9 Hide not thy face [far] from me; put not thy servant away in anger: thou hast been my help; leave me not, neither forsake me, O God of my salvation.  \n\n\n Psa 27:10 When my father and my mother forsake me, then the LORD will take me up.  \n\n\n Psa 27:11 Teach me thy way, O LORD, and lead me in a plain path, because of mine enemies.  \n\n\n Psa 27:12 Deliver me not over unto the will of mine enemies: for false witnesses are risen up against me, and such as breathe out cruelty.  \n\n\n Psa 27:13 [I had fainted], unless I had believed to see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living.  \n\n\n Psa 27:14 Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD.  \nReturn to Top

It is a Biblical reference to children... Read the psalm below, the specific reference is in verses 3 to 5.\n\nPsalms 127\n1 EXCEPT the LORD build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the LORD keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain.\n\n2 It is vain for you to rise up early, to sit up late, to eat the bread of sorrows: for so he giveth his beloved asleep.\n\n3 Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD: and the fruit of the womb is his reward.\n\n4 As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children of the youth.\n\n5 Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them: they shall not be ashamed, but they shall speak with the enemies in the gate.

Well, I don't believe in any gods, but I'll go along with all but 1 and 3 as you state them here. 7 is up to the couple, I think - as long as they agree on it one way or another. 5 & 8 are other case-by-case ones, excusable in certain hardships, but following them should be the default.\n\nTo answer your question, though, some do believe in god but not as described in the bible. There are followers of other teachings around the world, and also those who develop their own personal view & path.

1. Father\n2. Mother\n3. Son\n4. Daughter\n5. Son's Wife (Daughter-in-law)\n\nAnd division is required when you separate the light from the dark or the truth from lies.  It doesn't appear that in this scripture it is allegoric.  He usually started off by telling when he was using a parable to make a point.  He was just using this example of division because it was commonplace for a son to take a wife and have her live with his family (not vice versa).  He was saying that the truth of the Lord will separate the believers and the non-believers, even in their own immediate families.\n\nResponse:  Read the entire text around your verses, not just one verse of your picking or choosing to distort.  The only allegory I see is the one you are creating.  Clearly none exist in the text you quoted.  It's pretty cut and dry.
