¹ [A Psalme of Asaph.] God standeth in the Congregation of the mightie: hee iudgeth among the gods.

² How long will yee iudge vniustly: and accept the persons of the wicked? Selah.²

³ Defend the poore and fatherlesse: doe iustice to the afflicted and needie.³

⁴ Deliuer the poore and needy: rid them out of the hand of the wicked.⁴

⁵ They know not, neither wil they vnderstand; they walke on in darknes: all the foundations of the earth are out of course.⁵

⁶ I haue said, Ye are gods: and all of you are children of the most High:⁶

⁷ But ye shall die like men, and fall like one of the Princes.

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