God presides in the divine assembly

God stands in heaven in a meeting of all the spirits whom he has placed in charge of what he created. He tells them that he has decided this:

“You must stop judging people unfairly; you must no longer make decisions that favor wicked people!

You must defend people who are poor and orphans; you must act fairly toward those who are needy and those who have no one to help them.

Rescue them from the power of the wicked people!”

Those rulers do not know or understand anything! They are very corrupt, and as a result of their corrupt behavior, it is as though the foundation of the world is being shaken!

I previously said to them, “You think you are gods! It is as though you are all my sons,

but you will die as people do; your lives will end as the lives of all rulers end.”

God, arise and judge everyone on the earth because all the people groups belong to you!

God presides in the divine assembly

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.
