1God presides in the great assembly. He judges 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
3“Defend the weak, the poor, and the fatherless. Maintain the rights of the poor and oppressed.
3Judge the poor and fatherless; do justice to the afflicted and destitute.
4Rescue the weak and needy. Deliver them out of the hand of the wicked.”
4Rescue the poor and needy; deliver them out of the hand of the wicked.
5They don’t know, neither do they understand. They walk back and forth in 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 said, “You are gods, all of you are sons of the Most High.
6I said: Ye are godlike beings, and all of you sons of the Most High.
7Nevertheless you shall die like men, and fall like one of the rulers.”
7Nevertheless ye shall die like men, and fall like one of the princes.'
8Arise, God, judge the earth, for you inherit all of the nations.
8Arise, O God, judge the earth; for Thou shalt possess all nations.
