1 <<A Psalm of Asaph.>> God standeth in the congregation of the mighty; He judgeth among the gods.

2 How long will ye judge unjustly and accept persons of the wicked? Selah

Defend weak people and orphans. Protect the rights of the oppressed and the poor.
4 Deliver the poor and needy; rescue them out of the hand of the wicked.
4
Rescue weak and needy people. Help them escape the power of wicked people.
5 They know not, neither will they understand. They walk on in darkness: all the foundations of the earth are out of course.

Wicked people do not know or understand anything. As they walk around in the dark, all the foundations of the earth shake.
6 I have said, "Ye are gods, and all of you are children of the Most High."

I said, "You are gods. You are all sons of the Most High.
7 But ye shall die like men and fall like one of the princes.

You will certainly die like humans and fall like any prince."
8 Arise, O God, judge the earth, for Thou shalt inherit all nations.

Arise, O God! Judge the earth, because all the nations belong to you.
