1aGod bstandeth in the congregation of the mighty;
2eHow long will ye judge unjustly,
And fgaccept the persons gof the wicked? Selah.
3†Defend the hpoor and ifatherless:
iDo justice to the afflicted and needy.
4kDeliver the hpoor and needy:
lRid them out of the hand of the wicked.
5mThey know not, neither will they understand;
nThey walk on in darkness:
oAll the foundations of the earth are †out of course.
And all of you are rchildren of the most High.
And fall like one of the princes.

ESVEnglish Standard Version
A Psalm of Asaph.
God has taken his place in the divine council;
in the midst of the gods he holds judgment:
“How long will you judge unjustly
and show partiality to the wicked? Selah
Give justice to the weak and the fatherless;
maintain the right of the afflicted and the destitute.
Rescue the weak and the needy;
deliver them from the hand of the wicked.”
They have neither knowledge nor understanding,
they walk about in darkness;
all the foundations of the earth are shaken.
I said, “You are gods,
sons of the Most High, all of you;
nevertheless, like men you shall die,
and fall like any prince.”

NIVNew International Version (2011)
A psalm of Asaph.
God presides in the great assembly;
he renders judgment among the “gods”:
“How long will you defend the unjust
and show partiality to the wicked?
Defend the weak and the fatherless;
uphold the cause of the poor and the oppressed.
Rescue the weak and the needy;
deliver them from the hand of the wicked.
“The ‘gods’ know nothing, they understand nothing.
They walk about in darkness;
all the foundations of the earth are shaken.
“I said, ‘You are “gods”;
you are all sons of the Most High.’
But you will die like mere mortals;
you will fall like every other ruler.”

save them from the power of the wicked.”

“How long will you hand down unjust decisions
by favoring the wicked?
Interlude
“Give justice to the poor and the orphan;
uphold the rights of the oppressed and the destitute.
Rescue the poor and helpless;
deliver them from the grasp of evil people.
But these oppressors know nothing;
they are so ignorant!
They wander about in darkness,
while the whole world is shaken to the core.
I say, ‘You are gods;
you are all children of the Most High.
But you will die like mere mortals
and fall like every other ruler.’ ”
