Septuagint (Brenton Greek text, with Apocrypha)
1A psalm for Asaph. God hath stood in the congregation of gods: and being in the midst of them he judgeth gods.
1Ψαλμὸς τῷ Ἀσάφ. Ὁ Θεὸς ἔστη ἐν συναγωγῇ θεῶν, ἐν μέσῳ δὲ θεοὺς διακρινεῖ.
2How long will you judge unjustly: and accept the persons of the wicked?
2Ἕως πότε κρίνετε ἀδικίαν, καὶ πρόσωπα ἁμαρτωλῶν λαμβάνετε; διάψαλμα.
3Judge for the needy and fatherless: do justice to the humble and the poor.
3Κρίνατε ὀρφανὸν καὶ πτωχὸν, ταπεινὸν καὶ πένητα δικαιώσατε.
4Rescue the poor; and deliver the needy out of the hand of the sinner.
4Εξέλεσθε πένητα, καὶ πτωχὸν ἐκ χειρὸς ἁμαρτωλοῦ ῥύσασθε.
5They have not known nor understood: they walk on in darkness: all the foundations of the earth shall be moved.
5Οὐκ ἔγνωσαν οὐδὲ συνῆκαν, ἐν σκότει διαπορεύονται· σαλευθήσονται πάντα τὰ θεμελια τῆς γῆς.
6I have said: You are gods and all of you the sons of the most High.
6Ἐγὼ εἶπα, θεοί ἐστε, καὶ υἱοὶ ὑψίστου πάντες.
7But you like men shall die: and shall fall like one of the princes.
7Ὑμεῖς δὲ ὡς ἄνθρωποι ἀποθνήσκετε, καὶ ὡς εἷς τῶν ἀρχόντων πίπτετε.
8Arise, O God, judge thou the earth: for thou shalt inherit among all the nations.
8Ἀνάστα ὁ Θεὸς, κρῖνον τὴν γῆν, ὅτι σὺ κατακληρονομήσεις ἐν πᾶσι τοῖς ἔθνεσιν.
