1 God stands in the divine assembly;

he pronounces judgment among the gods:B,i

2 “How long will you judge unjustly

and show partiality to the wicked?j

Selah

3 Provide justice for the needy and the fatherless;

uphold the rights of the oppressed and the destitute.k

4 Rescue the poor and needy;

save them from the power of the wicked.”l

5 They do not know or understand;

they wander in darkness.m

All the foundations of the earth are shaken.n

6 I said, “You are gods;o

you are all sons of the Most High.p

7 However, you will die like humans

and fall like any other ruler.”q

8 Rise up, God, judge the earth,

for all the nations belong to you.r
