| 1 God takes his stand in the divine assembly; among the divine beings he renders judgment: | 1A psalm of Asaph. God has taken His place in the divine assembly; He judges among the gods:" |
| 2"How long will you judge partially by showing favor on the wicked? Interlude | 2How long will you judge unjustly and show partiality to the wicked? Selah |
| 3"Defend the poor and the fatherless. Vindicate the afflicted and the poor. | 3Provide justice for the needy and the fatherless; uphold the rights of the oppressed and the destitute. |
| 4Rescue the poor and the needy, delivering them from the power of the wicked. | 4Rescue the poor and needy; save them from the power of the wicked." |
| 5They neither know nor understand; they walk about in the dark while all the foundations of the earth are shaken. | 5They do not know or understand; they wander in darkness. All the foundations of the earth are shaken. |
| 6"Indeed I said, 'You are gods, and all of you are sons of the Most High. | 6I said, "You are gods; you are all sons of the Most High. |
| 7However, as all human beings do, you will die, and like other rulers, you will fall.' | 7However, you will die like men and fall like any other ruler." |
| 8Arise, God, to judge the earth, for all nations belong to you. | 8Rise up, God, judge the earth, for all the nations belong to You. |
