1 G od standeth in the congregation of God; He judgeth among the gods.

2 H ow long will ye judge unjustly, And respect the persons of the wicked? Selah

3 J udge the poor and fatherless: Do justice to the afflicted and destitute.

4 R escue the poor and needy: Deliver them out of the hand of the wicked.

5 T hey know not, neither do they understand; They walk to and fro in darkness: All the foundations of the earth are shaken.

6 I said, Ye are gods, And all of you sons of the Most High.

7 N evertheless ye shall die like men, And fall like one of the princes.

8 A rise, O God, judge the earth; For thou shalt inherit all the nations.
