JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
1God presides in the divine assembly; He renders judgment among the gods:
1A Psalm of Asaph. God standeth in the congregation of God; in the midst of the judges He judgeth:
2“How long will you judge unjustly and show partiality to the wicked? Selah
2'How long will ye judge unjustly, and respect the persons of the wicked? Selah
3Defend the cause of the weak and fatherless; uphold the rights of the afflicted and oppressed.
3Judge the poor and fatherless; do justice to the afflicted and destitute.
4Rescue the weak and needy; save them from the hand of the wicked.
4Rescue the poor and needy; deliver them out of the hand of the wicked.
5They do not know or understand; they wander in the darkness; all the foundations of the earth are shaken.
5They know not, neither do they understand; they go about in darkness; all the foundations of the earth are moved.
6I have said, ‘You are gods; you are all sons of the Most High.’
6I said: Ye are godlike beings, and all of you sons of the Most High.
7But like mortals you will die, and like rulers you will fall.”
7Nevertheless ye shall die like men, and fall like one of the princes.'
8Arise, O God, judge the earth, for all the nations are Your inheritance.
8Arise, O God, judge the earth; for Thou shalt possess all nations.
