1 God presides in the great
assembly;
he renders judgment among the
“gods”:
2 “How long will
you[a] defend
the unjust
and show partiality to the wicked?[b]
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.
5 “The ‘gods’ know
nothing, they understand nothing.
They walk about in darkness;
all the foundations of the earth are
shaken.
6 “I said, ‘You are
“gods”;
you are all sons of the Most
High.’
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 are your
inheritance.
