¹ God presides in the heavenly council; in the assembly of the gods he gives his decision: ² "You must stop judging unjustly; you must no longer be partial to the wicked! ³ Defend the rights of the poor and the orphans; be fair to the needy and the helpless. ⁴ Rescue them from the power of evil people. ⁵ "How ignorant you are! How stupid! You are completely corrupt, and justice has disappeared from the world. ⁶ 'You are gods,' I said; 'all of you are children of the Most High.' ⁷ But you will die like mortals; your life will end like that of any prince." ⁸ Come, O God, and rule the world; all the nations are yours.
