God presides in the great assembly; he renders judgment among the “gods”:
2 How long will you judge unjustly And show partiality to the wicked? Selah.
2
“How long will you defend the unjust and show partiality to the wicked?
3 Vindicate the weak and fatherless; Do justice to the afflicted and destitute.
3
Defend the weak and the fatherless; uphold the cause of the poor and the oppressed.
4 Rescue the weak and needy; Deliver them out of the hand of the wicked.
4
Rescue the weak and the needy; deliver them from the hand of the wicked.
5 They do not know nor do they understand; They walk about in darkness; All the foundations of the earth are shaken.
5
“The ‘gods’ know nothing, they understand nothing. They walk about in darkness; all the foundations of the earth are shaken.
6 I said, "You are gods, And all of you are sons of the Most High.
6
“I said, ‘You are “gods”; you are all sons of the Most High.’
7 "Nevertheless you will die like men And fall like any one of the princes."
7
But you will die like mere mortals; you will fall like every other ruler.”
8 Arise, O God, judge the earth! For it is You who possesses all the nations.
8
Rise up, O God, judge the earth, for all the nations are your inheritance.
