| 2 | How long will ye judge unjustly, and accept the persons of the wicked? Selah. |
| 3 | Defend the poor and fatherless: do justice to the afflicted and needy. |
| 4 | Deliver the poor and needy: rid [them] out of the hand of the wicked. |
| 5 | They know not, neither will they understand; they walk on in darkness: all the foundations of the earth are out of course. |
| 6 | I have said, Ye [are] gods; and all of you [are] children of the most High. |
| 7 | But ye shall die like men, and fall like one of the princes. |
| 8 | Arise, O God, judge the earth: for thou shalt inherit all nations. |
