God presides in the divine assembly

1
A Psalme committed to Aspah. God standeth in the assemblie of gods: hee iudgeth among gods.
2
How long wil ye iudge vniustly, and accept the persons of the wicked? Selah.
3
Doe right to the poore and fatherlesse: doe iustice to the poore and needie.
4
Deliuer the poore and needie: saue them from the hand of the wicked.
5
They knowe not and vnderstand nothing: they walke in darkenes, albeit all the foundations of the earth be mooued.
6
I haue said, Ye are gods, and ye all are children of the most High.
7
But ye shall die as a man, and yee princes, shall fall like others.
8
O God, arise, therefore iudge thou the earth: for thou shalt inherite all nations.

God presides in the divine assembly

1
God presides in the great assembly. He judges among the gods.
2
How long will you judge unjustly, and show partiality to the wicked?” Selah.
3
Defend the weak, the poor, and the fatherless. Maintain the rights of the poor and oppressed.
4
Rescue the weak and needy. Deliver them out of the hand of the wicked.”
5
They don’t know, neither do they understand. They walk back and forth in darkness. All the foundations of the earth are shaken.
6
I said, “You are gods, all of you are sons of the Most High.
7
Nevertheless you shall die like men, and fall like one of the rulers.”
8
Arise, God, judge the earth, for you inherit all of the nations.
