1 God stands among the divine council;He renders judgment among the gods.
2 “How long will you all judge unjustlyand accept partiality of the wicked? Selah
3 Defend the poor and fatherless;vindicate the afflicted and needy.
4 Grant escape to the abused and the destitute,pluck them out of the hand of the false.
5 “They have neither knowledge nor understanding;they walk in darkness:all the foundations of the earth are shaken.”
6 I have said, “You are gods,sons of the Most High, all of you,
7 but you all shall die like men,and fall like a man, O princes.”
8 Arise, O God, judge the earth,for You shall inherit all nations.
