God presides in the divine assembly

1
God stands in heaven in a meeting of all the spirits whom he has placed in charge of what he created. He tells them that he has decided this:
2
“You must stop judging people unfairly; you must no longer make decisions that favor wicked people!
3
You must defend people who are poor and orphans; you must act fairly toward those who are needy and those who have no one to help them.
4
Rescue them from the power of the wicked people!”
5
Those rulers do not know or understand anything! They are very corrupt, and as a result of their corrupt behavior, it is as though the foundation of the world is being shaken!
6
I previously said to them, “You think you are gods! It is as though you are all my sons,
7
but you will die as people do; your lives will end as the lives of all rulers end.”
8
God, arise and judge everyone on the earth because all the people groups belong to you!

God presides in the divine assembly

1
God presides in the great assembly. He judges among the gods.
2
“How long will you judge unjustly, and show partiality to the wicked?” Selah.
3
“Defend the weak, the poor, and the fatherless. Maintain the rights of the poor and oppressed.
4
Rescue the weak and needy. Deliver them out of the hand of the wicked.”
5
They don’t know, neither do they understand. They walk back and forth in darkness. All the foundations of the earth are shaken.
6
I said, “You are gods, all of you are sons of the Most High.
7
Nevertheless you shall die like men, and fall like one of the rulers.”
8
Arise, God, judge the earth, for you inherit all of the nations.
