2. “How long will you judge unjustlyand favor the cause of the wicked?Selah
3. “Defend the lowly and fatherless;render justice to the afflicted and needy.
4. Rescue the lowly and poor;deliver them from the hand of the wicked.”
5. The gods neither know nor understand,wandering about in darkness,and all the world’s foundations shake.
6. I declare: “Gods though you be,offspring of the Most High all of you,
7. Yet like any mortal you shall die;like any prince you shall fall.”
8. Arise, O God, judge the earth,for yours are all the nations.
