I have said, "Ye are gods, and ye are all the children of the most highest.

{A Psalm of Asaph} God standeth in the congregation of princes, and is a Judge among the judges.

Defend the poor and fatherless, see that such as be in need and necessity have right.

How long will ye give wrong judgment, and accept the persons of the ungodly? Selah.

They will not be learned nor understand, but walk on still in darkness; all the foundations of the earth are out of course.

Arise, O God, and judge thou the earth, for thou shalt take all heathen to thine inheritance.

Deliver the outcast and poor, and save them from the hand of the ungodly.

But ye shall die like men, and fall like one of the tyrants."
