1GOD stands in the congregation of angels; he judges among the angels. 2How long will you judge unjustly, and be partial to the wicked? 3Defend the poor and fatherless; do justice to the afflicted and needy. 4Deliver the poor and needy out of the hand of the wicked. 5They know not, neither will they understand; they walk on in darkness; all the foundations of the earth are shaken. 6I have said, You are gods; all of you are children of the most High. 7Henceforth you shall die like men, and fall like one of the princes. 8Arise, O God, judge the earth: for thou shalt inherit all nations.
