GOD'S WORD Translation GW
New King James Version NKJV
1 God takes his place in his own assembly. He pronounces judgment among the gods:
1
A Psalm of Asaph. God stands in the congregation of the mighty; He judges among the gods.
2 "How long are you going to judge unfairly? How long are you going to side with wicked people?" Selah
2
How long will you judge unjustly, And show partiality to the wicked? Selah
3 Defend weak people and orphans. Protect the rights of the oppressed and the poor.
3
Defend the poor and fatherless; Do justice to the afflicted and needy.
4 Rescue weak and needy people. Help them escape the power of wicked people.
4
Deliver the poor and needy; Free them from the hand of the wicked.
5 Wicked people do not know or understand anything. As they walk around in the dark, all the foundations of the earth shake.
5
They do not know, nor do they understand; They walk about in darkness; All the foundations of the earth are unstable.
6 I said, "You are gods. You are all sons of the Most High.
6
I said, "You are gods, And all of you are children of the Most High.
7 You will certainly die like humans and fall like any prince."
7
But you shall die like men, And fall like one of the princes."
8 Arise, O God! Judge the earth, because all the nations belong to you.
8
Arise, O God, judge the earth; For You shall inherit all nations.
