The Book of Psalms

A Psalme committed to Aspah. God standeth in the assemblie of gods: hee iudgeth among gods.

How long wil ye iudge vniustly, and accept the persons of the wicked? Selah.

Doe right to the poore and fatherlesse: doe iustice to the poore and needie.

Deliuer the poore and needie: saue them from the hand of the wicked.

They knowe not and vnderstand nothing: they walke in darkenes, albeit all the foundations of the earth be mooued.

I haue said, Ye are gods, and ye all are children of the most High.

But ye shall die as a man, and yee princes, shall fall like others.

O God, arise, therefore iudge thou the earth: for thou shalt inherite all nations.

God presides in the great assembly. He judges among the gods.

“How long will you judge unjustly, and show partiality to the wicked?” Selah.

“Defend the weak, the poor, and the fatherless. Maintain the rights of the poor and oppressed.

Rescue the weak and needy. Deliver them out of the hand of the wicked.”

They don’t know, neither do they understand. They walk back and forth in darkness. All the foundations of the earth are shaken.

I said, “You are gods, all of you are sons of the Most High.

Nevertheless you shall die like men, and fall like one of the rulers.”

Arise, God, judge the earth, for you inherit all of the nations.
