The Complete Jewish Bible CJB
King James Version KJV
1 A psalm of Asaf: Elohim [God] stands in the divine assembly; there with the elohim [judges], he judges:
1
God standeth in the congregation of the mighty; he judgeth among the gods.
2 "How long will you go on judging unfairly, favoring the wicked? (Selah)
2
How long will ye judge unjustly, and accept the persons of the wicked? Selah.
3 Give justice to the weak and fatherless! Uphold the rights of the wretched and poor!
3
Defend the poor and fatherless: do justice to the afflicted and needy.
4 Rescue the destitute and needy; deliver them from the power of the wicked!"
4
Deliver the poor and needy: rid them out of the hand of the wicked.
5 They don't know, they don't understand, they wander about in darkness; meanwhile, all the foundations of the earth are being undermined.
5
They know not, neither will they understand; they walk on in darkness: all the foundations of the earth are out of course.
6 "My decree is: 'You are elohim [gods, judges], sons of the Most High all of you.
6
I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High.
7 Nevertheless, you will die like mortals; like any prince, you will fall.'"
7
But ye shall die like men, and fall like one of the princes.
8 Rise up, Elohim, and judge the earth; for all the nations are yours.
8
Arise, O God, judge the earth: for thou shalt inherit all nations.
