1 God standeth in the congregation of God; he judgeth among the gods.

2 How long will ye judge unjustly, and respect the persons of the wicked?

3 Judge the poor and fatherless: do justice to the afflicted and destitute.

4 Rescue the poor and needy: deliver them out of the hand of the wicked.

5 They know not, neither do they understand; they walk to and fro in darkness: all the foundations of the earth are moved.

6 I said, Ye are gods, and all of you sons of the Most High.

7 Nevertheless ye shall die like men, and fall like one of the princes.

8 Arise, O God, judge the earth: for thou shalt inherit all the nations.
