5 They don't know, they don't understand, they wander about in darkness; meanwhile, all the foundations of the earth are being undermined.

6 "My decree is: 'You are elohim [gods, judges], sons of the Most High all of you.
6
I said, "You 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 you 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 You shall inherit all nations.
