Read the Bible

¹God has taken his place in the divine council;

in the midst of the gods he holds judgement:

²‘How long will you judge unjustly

and show partiality to the wicked? Selah

³Give justice to the weak and the orphan;

maintain the right of the lowly and the destitute.

⁴Rescue the weak and the needy;

deliver them from the hand of the wicked.’

⁵They have neither knowledge nor understanding,

they walk around in darkness;

all the foundations of the earth are shaken.

⁶I say, ‘You are gods,

children of the Most High, all of you;

⁷nevertheless, you shall die like mortals,

and fall like any prince.’

⁸Rise up, O God, judge the earth;

for all the nations belong to you!
