1 God standeth in the congregation of the mighty; he judgeth among the gods.
1
God has taken his place in the divine council; in the midst of the gods he holds judgment:
2 How long will ye judge unjustly, and accept the persons of the wicked? Selah.
2
"How long will you judge unjustly and show partiality to the wicked? (Selah)
3 Defend the poor and fatherless: do justice to the afflicted and needy.
3
Give justice to the weak and the orphan; maintain the right of the lowly and the destitute.
4 Deliver the poor and needy: rid 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 know not, neither will they understand; they walk on in darkness: all the foundations of the earth are out of course.
5
They have neither knowledge nor understanding, they walk around in darkness; all the foundations of the earth are shaken.
6 I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High.
6
I say, "You are gods, children of the Most High, all of you;
7 But ye shall die like men, and fall like one of the princes.
7
nevertheless, you shall die like mortals, and fall like any prince."
8 Arise, O God, judge the earth: for thou shalt inherit all nations.
8
Rise up, O God, judge the earth; for all the nations belong to you!
