| 1A Psalm of Asaph. God stands in the congregation of the mighty; He judges among the gods. | 1God has taken his place in the divine council; in the midst of the gods he holds judgment: |
| 2How long will you judge unjustly, And show partiality to the wicked? Selah | 2“How long will you judge unjustly and show partiality to the wicked? Selah |
| 3Defend the poor and fatherless; Do justice to the afflicted and needy. | 3Give justice to the weak and the fatherless; maintain the right of the afflicted and the destitute. |
| 4Deliver the poor and needy; Free them from the hand of the wicked. | 4Rescue the weak and the needy; deliver them from the hand of the wicked.” |
| 5They do not know, nor do they understand; They walk about in darkness; All the foundations of the earth are unstable. | 5They have neither knowledge nor understanding, they walk about in darkness; all the foundations of the earth are shaken. |
| 6I said, “You are gods, And all of you are children of the Most High. | 6I said, “You are gods, sons of the Most High, all of you; |
| 7But you shall die like men, And fall like one of the princes.” | 7nevertheless, like men you shall die, and fall like any prince.” |
| 8Arise, O God, judge the earth; For You shall inherit all nations. | 8Arise, O God, judge the earth; for you shall inherit all the nations! |
