ESVEnglish Standard Version

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.”

Arise, O God, judge the earth;

for you shall inherit all the nations!

“The ‘gods’ know nothing, they understand nothing.

They walk about in darkness;

all the foundations of the earth are shaken.

you are all sons of the Most High.’

But you will die like mere mortals;

you will fall like every other ruler.”

Rise up, O God, judge the earth,

for all the nations are your inheritance.

They do not know or understand;

they wander in darkness.

All the foundations of the earth are shaken.

I said, “You are gods;

you are all sons of the Most High.

However, you will die like humans

and fall like any other ruler.”

Rise up, God, judge the earth,

for all the nations belong to you.

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.’ ”

Rise up, O God, and judge the earth,

for all the nations belong to you.

They do not know or consider.

They go about in the darkness,

so that all the foundations of the earth are shaken.

I have said, “You are gods,

and sons of the Most High, all of you.

However, you will die like men,

and you will fall like one of the princes.”

Rise up, O God, judge the earth,

because you shall inherit all the nations.

KJV 1900King James Version

They know not, neither will they understand;

They walk on in darkness:

All the foundations of the earth are out of course.

I have said, Ye are gods;

And all of you are children of the most High.

But ye shall die like men,

And fall like one of the princes.

Arise, O God, judge the earth:

For thou shalt inherit all nations.
