1 God presides in the heavenly council;in the assembly of the gods he gives his decision:
2 “You must stop judging unjustly;you must no longer be partial to the wicked!
3 Defend the rights of the poor and the orphans;be fair to the needy and the helpless.
4 Rescue them from the power of the wicked.
5 “How ignorant you are! How stupid!You are completely corrupt,and justice has disappeared from the world.
6 ‘You are gods,’ I said;‘all of you are children of the Most High.’
7 But you will die like mortals;your life will end like that of any prince.”
8 Come, O God, and rule the world;all the nations are yours.
