1 God stands in the divine assembly;

in the midst of the gods he renders judgment.

2 How long will you judge unjustly

and show favoritism to the wicked?

3 Defend the poor and fatherless;

maintain the rights of the afflicted and destitute.

4 Rescue the poor and needy;

take them out of the hand of the wicked.

5 They neither know nor understand;

they wander around in the darkness;

all the foundations of the earth crumble.

6 I said, “You are gods,

and all of you sons of the Most High.

7 Nevertheless you will die like men

and fall like one of the princes.”

8 Arise, God, judge the earth,

for you have an inheritance in all the nations.
