2 “How long will you judge unjustlyand favor the cause of the wicked?Selah
3 “Defend the lowly and fatherless;render justice to the afflicted and needy.
4 Rescue the lowly and poor;deliver them from the hand of the wicked.”
5 The gods neither know nor understand,wandering about in darkness,and all the world’s foundations shake.
6 I declare: “Gods though you be,offspring of the Most High all of you,
7 Yet like any mortal you shall die;like any prince you shall fall.”
8 Arise, O God, judge the earth,for yours are all the nations.
