God stands in the assembly of gods;

And in the midst of them will judge gods.

2 How long will ye judge unrighteously,

And accept the persons of sinners? Pause.

3 Judge the orphan and poor:

Do justice to the low and needy.

4 Rescue the needy, and deliver the poor

Out of the hand of the sinner.

5 They know not, nor understand;

They walk on in darkness:

All the foundations of the earth shall be shaken.

6 I have said, Ye are gods;

And all of you children of the Most High.

7 But ye die as men,

And fall as one of the princes.

8 Arise, O God, judge the earth:

For thou shalt inherit all nations.
