New Living Translation NLT
Young's Literal Translation YLT
1 God presides over heaven’s court; he pronounces judgment on the heavenly beings:
1
-- A Psalm of Asaph. God hath stood in the company of God, In the midst God doth judge.
2 “How long will you hand down unjust decisions by favoring the wicked? Interlude
2
Till when do ye judge perversely? And the face of the wicked lift up? Selah.
3 “Give justice to the poor and the orphan; uphold the rights of the oppressed and the destitute.
3
Judge ye the weak and fatherless, The afflicted and the poor declare righteous.
4 Rescue the poor and helpless; deliver them from the grasp of evil people.
4
Let the weak and needy escape, From the hand of the wicked deliver them.
5 But these oppressors know nothing; they are so ignorant! They wander about in darkness, while the whole world is shaken to the core.
5
They knew not, nor do they understand, In darkness they walk habitually, Moved are all the foundations of earth.
6 I say, ‘You are gods; you are all children of the Most High.
6
I -- I have said, `Gods ye [are], And sons of the Most High -- all of you,
7 But you will die like mere mortals and fall like every other ruler.’”
7
But as man ye die, and as one of the heads ye fall,
8 Rise up, O God, and judge the earth, for all the nations belong to you.
8
Rise, O God, judge the earth, For Thou hast inheritance among all the nations!
