Unjust Judgments Rebuked.
1 God stands in the divine assembly; He judges among the gods (divine beings).
2 How long will you judge unjustly And show partiality to the wicked? Selah.
3 Vindicate the weak and fatherless; Do justice and maintain the rights of the afflicted and destitute.
4 Rescue the weak and needy; Rescue them from the hand of the wicked.
5 The rulers do not know nor do they understand; They walk on in the darkness [of complacent satisfaction]; All the foundations of the earth [the fundamental principles of the administration of justice] are shaken.
6 I said, “You are gods; Indeed, all of you are sons of the Most High. [Gen 6:1-4; John 10:34-36; Rom 13:1, 2]
7 “Nevertheless you will die like men And fall like any one of the princes.”
8 Arise, O God, judge the earth! For to You belong all the nations. [Matt 28:18-20; Rev 11:15]
