1 God takes his place in his own assembly.He pronounces judgment among the gods:
2 “How long are you going to judge unfairly?How long are you going to side with wicked people?” Selah
3 Defend weak people and orphans.Protect the rights of the oppressed and the poor.
4 Rescue weak and needy people.Help them escape the power of wicked people.
5 Wicked people do not know or understand anything.As they walk around in the dark,all the foundations of the earth shake.
6 I said, “You are gods.You are all sons of the Most High.
7 You will certainly die like humansand fall like any prince.”
8 Arise, O God!Judge the earth, because all the nations belong to you.
