1God stands in the assembly of the mighty. He judges among the gods.
2"How long will you judge unjustly, and show favour to the wicked? Selah."
3"Defend the poor and the fatherless. Do justice to the afflicted and the needy."
4"Rescue the poor and needy. Save them from the hand of the wicked."
5They do not know, and they will not understand. They walk on in darkness. All the foundations of the earth are shaken out of place.
6I have said, "You are gods, and all of you are children of the Most High."
7"But you will die like men, and fall like one of the princes."
8Rise up, O God, and judge the earth, for all the nations belong to you.
