1 God standeth in the congregation of the mighty;he judgeth among the gods.
2 How long will ye judge unjustly,and accept the persons of the wicked? Selah.
3 Defend the poor and fatherless:do justice to the afflicted and needy.
4 Deliver the poor and needy:rid them out of the hand of the wicked.
5 They know not, neither will they understand;they walk on in darkness:all the foundations of the earth are out of course.
6 I have said, Ye are gods;and all of you are children of the Most High.
7 But ye shall die like men,and fall like one of the princes.
8 Arise, O God, judge the earth:for thou shalt inherit all nations.
