¹ God presides in the heavenly council; in the assembly of the gods he gives his decision:

² "You must stop judging unjustly; you must no longer be partial to the wicked!

³ Defend the rights of the poor and the orphans; be fair to the needy and the helpless.

⁴ Rescue them from the power of evil people.

⁵ "How ignorant you are! How stupid! You are completely corrupt, and justice has disappeared from the world.

⁶ 'You are gods,' I said; 'all of you are children of the Most High.'

⁷ But you will die like mortals; your life will end like that of any prince."

⁸ Come, O God, and rule the world; all the nations are yours.
