1: God is in the meeting-place of God; he is judging among the gods. 2: How long will you go on judging falsely, having respect for the persons of evil-doers? (Selah.) 3: Give ear to the cause of the poor and the children without fathers; let those who are troubled and in need have their rights. 4: Be the saviour of the poor and those who have nothing: take them out of the hand of the evil-doers. 5: They have no knowledge or sense; they go about in the dark: all the bases of the earth are moved. 6: I said, You are gods; all of you are the sons of the Most High: 7: But you will come to death like men, falling like one of the rulers of the earth. 8: Up! O God, come as judge of the earth; for all the nations are your heritage.
