1 God
stands in the congregation of the
mighty;
He judges
among the gods.
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.
4 Deliver
the poor and needy;
Free them from
the hand of the wicked.
5 They
do not know, nor do they understand;
They walk
about in darkness;
All the foundations
of the earth are unstable.
6 I
said, “You are gods,
And all
of you are children of the
Most High.
7 But
you shall die like men,
And fall like one of
the princes.”
8 Arise,
O God, judge the earth;
For You shall inherit
all nations.
