2 H ow long will ye judge unjustly and accept the persons of the wicked? Selah.

3 D o right concerning the poor and fatherless; do justice to the poor and destitute.

4 D eliver the poor and destitute; deliver them out of the hand of the wicked.

5 T hey do not know, neither do they understand; they walk in darkness; they move all the foundations of the earth.

6 ¶ I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are sons of the most High.

7 B ut ye shall die like men and fall like one of the tyrants.

8 A rise, O God, judge the earth, for thou shalt inherit all the Gentiles.
