New Revised Standard NRS
New International Version NIV
1 God has taken his place in the divine council; in the midst of the gods he holds judgment:
1
God presides in the great assembly; he renders judgment among the “gods”:
2 "How long will you judge unjustly and show partiality to the wicked? (Selah)
2
“How long will you defend the unjust and show partiality to the wicked?
3 Give justice to the weak and the orphan; maintain the right of the lowly and the destitute.
3
Defend the weak and the fatherless; uphold the cause of the poor and the oppressed.
4 Rescue the weak and the needy; deliver them from the hand of the wicked."
4
Rescue the weak and the needy; deliver them from the hand of the wicked.
5 They have neither knowledge nor understanding, they walk around in darkness; all the foundations of the earth are shaken.
5
“The ‘gods’ know nothing, they understand nothing. They walk about in darkness; all the foundations of the earth are shaken.
6 I say, "You are gods, children of the Most High, all of you;
6
“I said, ‘You are “gods”; you are all sons of the Most High.’
7 nevertheless, you shall die like mortals, and fall like any prince."
7
But you will die like mere mortals; you will fall like every other ruler.”
8 Rise up, O God, judge the earth; for all the nations belong to you!
8
Rise up, O God, judge the earth, for all the nations are your inheritance.
