2
How long will you (A)judge unjustly
And (B)show partiality to the wicked? (a)Selah.
3
(C)Vindicate the weak and fatherless;
Do justice to the afflicted and destitute.
4
(D)Rescue the weak and needy;
Deliver them out of the hand of the wicked.
5
They (E)do not know nor do they understand;
They (F)walk about in darkness;
All the (G)foundations of the earth are shaken.
6
(b)I (H)said, “You are gods,
And all of you are (I)sons of the Most High.
7
“Nevertheless (J)you will die like men
And fall like any (K)one of the princes.”
