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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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