1 God presides in the great assembly; he renders judgment among the “gods”:
1
God takes his stand in the divine council; he gives judgment among the gods:
2 “How long will you defend the unjust and show partiality to the wicked?
2
"How long will you judge unjustly by granting favor to the wicked? Selah
3 Defend the weak and the fatherless; uphold the cause of the poor and the oppressed.
3
Give justice to the lowly and the orphan; maintain the right of the poor and the destitute!
4 Rescue the weak and the needy; deliver them from the hand of the wicked.
4
Rescue the lowly and the needy. Deliver them from the power of the wicked!
5 “The ‘gods’ know nothing, they understand nothing. They walk about in darkness; all the foundations of the earth are shaken.
5
They don't know; they don't understand; they wander around in the dark. All the earth's foundations shake.
6 “I said, ‘You are “gods”; you are all sons of the Most High.’
6
I hereby declare, "You are gods, children of the Most High—all of you!
7 But you will die like mere mortals; you will fall like every other ruler.”
7
But you will die like mortals; you will fall down like any prince."
8 Rise up, O God, judge the earth, for all the nations are your inheritance.
8
Rise up, God! Judge the earth because you hold all nations in your possession!
